Hi there,
I just bought a 1440 monitor and I'm expecting to have a lot of trouble with my transition from 1080p to 1440p. I'm trying to decide if it would make more sense to save up and buy a new desktop versus getting the X80 version of pascal or whatever it will be called. I mostly play blizzard games, but I've been playing a lot of Witcher 3, as well. I also will be playing FO4 when more mods come out.
I'm planing on buying pre-built prb. from Digital Storm (I know, I know). I just think if a new GPU is going to be bottle necked by my CPU, and a ton of parts needs to be upgraded (CPU, moather board, etc), I might as well strip my current desktop for parts, sell what I can and start from new. Also, my gaming case is HUGE, and my new (much smaller) apt is having trouble accommodating the space.
Please let me know what you think. And if it's going to be easier starting from scratch, let me know what parts would be worth trying to sell.
Thank you!
