Wider displays are also better for multitasking. You can arrange 2 windows on a single 16:9 display side by side (I use this all the time at work - a lot of programs look good enough on a half of 1920*1080 screen - Skype, OneNote, Outlook in reading mode, many web pages, file explorer, MSSQL management studio) (you can also do this on 16:10 1920*1200 like yours, but there isn't really much benefit of extra 120 pixels below for the price of higher DPI (which is not great on Windows, since a lot of programs and icons look ugly if you upscale them) On 21:9 (2560*1080) it gets even better - you can have 2 of any programs each on its half of the screen

You got my meaning perfectly. That's exactly what I'm afraid of - the rush. I understand there will be less rush in an MMORPG than in a multiplayer hack'n'slash, but there still will be when I'm playing with strangers (I have a fried that plans to play ESO, but I play games at random time mostly (it may be in the morning or at night, or even in the middle of a workday sometimes) so it will be difficult for me to co-op with someone)

Ok, it's on. Rant shall it be! It is natural for human to have wide field of view. The wider the display, the wider the field of view. You see more of the gaming world => more immersion! Just check out screenshots here: https://www.wsgf.org/dr/elder-scrolls-v-skyrim/en

You won't regret it I definitely can recommend my Dell U2913WM, it is awesome (the only thing bad about it is "Smart Video Enhance" feature which is turned on by default (easily turned off in settings) - it absolutely ruins all the gaming cause it switches color schemes whenever it wants which is very distracting)

Agree with TehKaoZ about the story thing... There are 2 things I care about ESO: 1) It doesn't break TES Lore and Story and doesn't introduce any funky awkward additions to it 2) I never played any MMO and am afraid that MMO is mostly a competitive game. They only online game I played was Diablo II and there you just don't have time to pause for a minute and stare at something, or go to a merchant and trade for 15 minutes like I usually do in TES games. Other players are rushing forward cause they only care about how powerful their character is - and you have nobody to play with if you are slow! Also I remember a lot of players using exploits or cheats (i.e. MapHack) and finding quest locations first all the time - that is completely frustrating. If similar situation will be in ESO than it will be a catastrophe. However if I can find a party to do lore-friendly quests in TES world with, without any rush and competition - that is all I want. Oh and I also want controller support on PC and first person view, but I can live without that. Also I have just thought... did anyone hear from any news about ESO about following questions: items trade between players, sharing items between characters in an account, sharing loot, cheating, cheating prevention systems?

Looks like another piece of **** "optimizer", sorry for swearing but damn I hate 'em! When somewhere in 2006 I had a very shitty PC (something like Celeron 1.7 GHz, 1 GB RAM and Radeon 9550) I was hoping to play Oblivion on it (I actually played, but on very low settings and with an ugly FPS) - I have tried dozens of that kind of "optimizers" and none of them helped a bit. Shame that Razer makes such software... next time they'll make a registry cleaner LOL (that thing doesn't help you, I swear) Besides, software from hadrware manufacturers is always ugly and useless. What I see it does is completely useless unless you have something like a 1-core Celeron processor, 1 GB of RAM and an old 5400 RPM hard drive. Then it might give you a bit of help, but it won't save you anyway. The main feature what it does is it frees some RAM - but in case your system's low on RAM, system processes (including Explorer.exe) will just be written to page file and RAM will be freed, without the need of any additional software. The "High Performance" power scheme also won't help... as far as I understand it may force CPU to work at maximum frequency all the time. But if the CPU is under high load all the time that it will work at maximum frequency. Theoretically there may be some minor delays of switching CPU, but I doubt that would be noticeable :\

~800$ fore Core @ 40+ FPS - it will be something like AMD FX-4300, Radeon R9 270x~1200$ for Extreme @ 30+ FPS - instead of R9 270x you get something like GTX 780 (or even Ti) ~1600$ for Extreme @ 60 FPS - instead of FX-4300 you get an i5-4670k\i5-3570k and some cooling for overclocking

But still check out that AOC I've posted, it's much better than that ASUS. BTW 600$ for a monitor is not incredibly much I think... It is definitely much for 24", but if you want 27" 1440p or 29" ultra wide that's a fair price. Besides in premium monitors you get a very decent chassis, height adjustment, sometimes even portrait orientation support and all kinds of features - usb 3.0 hub, cable management holes, decent integrated sound, all kinds of inputs (all four D-Sub, DVI, DP and HDMI), DisplayPort output (for multi-display setups), a nicer configuration menu, premium warranty with replacement even for 1 bright pixel and everything really feels solid. A display is something you don't want to upgrade very often, so I think it is worth the investment (I had my previous monitor for 6 years or so, bought it for 400$, sold for 100$, bought a new one for 650$)

If you can spend a bit more, try this one on IPS: AOC i2367Fh https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16824160158 Looks quite good from the review I've seen and also looks fantastic (it doesn't have VESA mount though, in case you would like to upgrade it to an eyefinity\surround setup later) By the way monitor prices on newegg look super cheap :O Much cheaper than we have here in Belarus, lol

Dude, I know how bad laptop TNs can be. In laptop TNs viewing angles are just a complete ****. Desktop TNs are much better. I remember I've picked ASUS VW222U for myself back in 2007 or something like that - never could have complain about viewing angles. They're just a bit bad when looking from the bottom. Now sitting in front of dual Philips 241E at work - can't complain about viewing angles also. As for color, IPSs are significantly better at dark colors. You won't get a very black black on a TN, but I think it's a good sacrifice for better performance and chassis. I think buying an IPS display for 130$ is too cheap - you won't get a good one.

It can be a problem on a huge display when you're sitting right in front of it (because of bad viewing angles you will be looking on different areas of a single display with different color distortion)

Modern TNs actually have bad viewing angles from 1 side only. Usually it's the bottom. Currently at work I have two Philips 241E's - their viewing angles are not bad at all! I would say they are not worse than both my Dells at home - U2913WM and P2714H.

I am not colorblind. TNs are not bad, if you pick a good one. TNs have trouble with viewing angles, that's their main problem. They don't have a very wide color coverage, but color accuracy is good enough.

Glossy chassis sucks. I wouldn't buy it. I've checked an extremely detailed and authoritative review of GW2450HM (on a Russian resource, overclockers.ru), here is the brief of it: Pros: Matrix is fast, not as bad as older MVAsExtremely wide brightness rangeQuite good backlit uniformity on black backgroundNo EMI noise from display or its PSU in all configurationsLow power consumptionLow input lag (5.5ms)Cons: Glossy chassisChassis backlashes and is quite flimsyLow backlit uniformity on white backgroundGradients are extremely weakView angles are quite weak, not better than good TN displaySome "Black Crush effect", dunno what it meansDisplay controls are not convenientI'd rather go with a TN display, but better quality I have a very bad experience with MVA display - it was Iiyama ProLite X2775HDS-B1, and it is completely ugly, the matrix was unbelievably slow.

Hi Galrick and yass100 and Octopuss Damnit Skyrim, this phrase will never sound the same again for me :)

All of this doesn't matter. Everything that matters are gaming benchmarks, noise, power consumption and feature support. Currently AMD and Nvidia are at par in gaming benchmarks, but noise, power consumption and feature support Nvidia is the winner. I remember back in 2007 (or 2006?) when Nvidia released G80 (8800 GTX) and it was sooo fast, like 3 times faster than the previous generation. The answer from ATI was promising as they advertised - the R600 (HD2900 XT), but in games it was not nearly as good as G80. The performance of their architecture wasn't yet unleashed - they only caught up with Nvidia on HD5000 series, and in high end HD7000 they got just a bit better. But a miracle didn't happen - since R600, the performance of ATI\AMD cards only increased as much as the amount of processing units and their clock speed increased. Another point is that AMD's always late! They release better performing cards only after Nvidia did it. That said, I wouldn't rely on Mantle. I think it will give a bit of advantage, but it will not be significant in the end. AMD cards are good for mining bit\lite\*coins currently. Just in case, I'm not Nvidia fanboy.

After using ASUS HD7950-DC2T-3GD5 I tend to thing their DirectCU coolers suck. They are massive, but heavy - so the PCB tends to bend over time. Because of this, radiator clamp on the GPU chip weakens and temperature rises (I added a couple of washers for the screws to improve the clamp and had temperatures drop by 8 degrees). It also was quite noisy - at higher fan speeds it rattled.

Me too. I remember having Gigabyte GTX 560 Ti OC that was crashing until I flashed an updated BIOS for it.Also had bad experience with Gigabyte motherboards - i.e. BSODs when using iGPU, some SATA ports laggy. So you can sell your 770 for that lower price and get a single modern GPU that will be maybe a bit slower than dual 770, but much more power efficient and working in all the games.No, SLI\CF suck. The only reason to have them is when a single modern top of the line overclocked GPU is not enough.

I'm not saying you should buy an i7. i5 is fine, sure! I was saying - don't listen to those guys saying that you should go with AMD. I personally bought i7-4770k because for me the difference was ~60$ and also I didn't want to have downgrade in the amount of processor threads (cuz I had 8 cores on fx-8350 before) EVGA cooling is better, yes, but better cooling is not as beneficial as an extra RAM. Better cooling is needed only if you plan to overclock the card. And if you plan to do it - warranty is already void, so why would you care about longer warranty? Really, try a ZOTAC card. As for the InWin PSU I can assure you they are good enough to last 10 years under >50% capacity. You are not risking anything. In case PSU fails to give enough power, maximum you can experience is GPU driver crashes or sudden system reboots. Modern PSUs are way overpowered - I recently built a system with an FX-8350 and OC'd HD7790 with an extremely cheap PSU that came with a case for 50$ from Cooler Master. The PSU 12v rating was 20 amps only (and it had only 1 12v line - which is 240 watts only; the PSU didn't even had a PCI-e power connector - I had to use an adapter). The system worked on stress load with Prime95 + MSI Kombustor for an hour just fine. I replaced the PSU though, cause that one was noisy. Another example I can give you is my mate building small form factor PCs with 80W PSUs and some quad core i5 45W TDP. Systems are working more than a year already, no complaints. I understand that you want a nice case though, cause you're building a system for yourself - can't argue with that (although InWin cases use good quality materials and have many features, their design is not the best and they can't fit all the hardware you might want to put in there, i.e. 240mm water cooling radiator or an extremely long graphics card). Its just that most people that I build PCs for don't see the reason why do you need a more expensive case when a 60$ case with bundled PSU can fit all the hardware. And since you are buying a case without a PSU, I see no reason buying a cheaper PSU that you have selected here.

Didn't read all the thread, sorry. Bug have seen some suggestions to save on the CPU in favor of the GPU. That is completely wrong if you're going to play Skyrim. Modded Skyrim badly needs a fast CPU - I have seen up to 20 FPS increase when switched from FX-8350 to i7-4770K, and when I overclocked 4770K I had ~10 more FPS in some places. As for the GPU, there's a 4GB ZOTAC GTX 760, which is just 10$ more than EVGA 760 2GB. Why don't you buy it? https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814500312 When you're buying EVGA you're paying much for the name; ZOTAC is a very decent manufacturer on the other hand. If you need to save more money, I suggest you a) buy an OEM version of the CPU and a cheap cooler separately (usually is cheaper than buying a box version of the cpu). Then when you decide to upgrade - buy a good cooler and overclock the CPU. Also don't try overclocking CPU with software, it sucks. b) save something on the case and PSU. I.e. try this InWin case with PSU: https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811108429 The bundled PSU enough power for slightly overclocked 4670 and GTX 760.

The Dance of Death - A Killmove Mod doesn't do that?Afaik Immersive First person view disables 3rd person killmoves if active. Perhaps this might be to your liking as well: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=17887 Dance of Death does a lot of other stuff... I am completely happy with vanilla killmoves other than seeing 3rd person moves while I'm in 1st person. It also looks like quite a complex mod with scripts and fixing all the compatibility issues isn't worth the feature I want... Immersive First person view is an interesting mod, it has caught my attention earlier. But from what I've seen in the video it has some clipping bugs. Also I had used such mod in Oblivion and it sucked because of camera twitching (I got dizzy after playing with it for 5 minutes). But I'm going to give it a try, thanks. Killmove control is not what I want either. I don't want any changes in chances of killmoves. I just want all the 3rd person killmoves replaced with 1st person killmoves.

Ok, hya everyone. Sharing stuff about me... My real name is Aleksey, I live in Belarus. I'm 23, I work in an outsourcing software QA company as a QA engineer\team leader. At the same time I study at the university - computer networks is the specialty. My main hobby is computer hardware. I love researching about hardware, buying and selling hardware parts, assembling PCs, fixing laptops (freelancing just a bit with all of these), overclocking, benching, fine tuning everything. I dream of making PC case mods and building some custom water cooling for everything in my system - but I lack the skill, the tools and the money to do it. Besides, it is way too difficult to get some modding accessories here in Belarus (usually if I want something exclusive I have to find someone on the forums who could deliver it for me from Russia, China or USA). In computer games, I love RPGs and Action-Adventure games. Except Skyrim and Oblivion which I absolutely love (sorry TES fans, I've tried playing Morrowind dozens of times but its lack of NPC AI and personalities, and also the damn physics and combat system are killing me) my favorite games are - Star Wars KotOR 1 and 2 (I'm a fan of the Star Wars by the way), Witcher 1 and 2 (can't wait for Witcher 3), Prince of Persia and Assassins Creed series (especially the Prince Of Persia 2008), GTA series (the best is San Andreas, I think); I also spend a great deal of my life playing Diablo II - I know almost everything about this game and I'm gosu in PvM (probably, I played this game more than any other so far, or even more than all the games altogether); but got sick of it a year ago or so... Also, never tried Diablo III, for a lot of reasons. I am also a desperate metalhead (though made a short haircut recently...), loving all kinds of metal - power, death, melodic death, viking, black, etc. Visiting as much concerts as I can here in Belarus. But not discovering new bands very often - music collection on PC is about 3 hundred of artists, but among them I barely listen to 50.

... disables 3rd person finish moves while i'm playing in 1st person?

Glad problem is solved, but: When you ask for help with such problem next time, you should at least tell: 1) manufacturer and exact model of your display 2) manufacturer and exact model of your video card 3) which interface do you use to connect it (DVI, D-Sub, HDMI, DisplayPort, whether you use any adapters (like DVI->DisplayPort or DVI->D-Sub)) 4) If the monitor is showing an error message (you told that it says it's not connected) you should type the exact message you receive, or even take a photo and post it The very basic troubleshooting you could have done yourself: 1) Somewhere in the monitor settings, find Factory Reset option and use it 2) Monitors usually have signal source configuration somewhere in their settings. Default option usually is automatic detection - you could have tried to override it and set exact port you use manually.

Because you either need to make a "jack of all trade character" (and he sucks, because you lack perks - and why would you bother leveling heavy armor when you already are a master of light armor) or use Skyrim Uncapper (which makes you overpowered) to reach level >50.
