2018 Gaming Desktop Criticism & Recommendations

Retribution · Aug 10, 2018

Hello,

I am looking for advice on my current set up, and what I should be upgrading to next on my part list to keep up the current trends in high tier games these days with intensive games. I recently upgraded my MSI 960 to Gigabyte 1070 since my GPu burnt out.

It's a solid build, nothing that I can see to upgrade considering you swapped your 960 to a 1070. Maybe a monitor upgrade?

What type of monitor would you suggest for dual monitors that are not too much more then my current monitors? I've been told my current monitor isn't too great cause of the slow refresh rate.

Your list says 1060 not 1070. If you have a 1070, really need to be looking at 1440p/gsync. Best value there is Dell S2716DG - just one and keep one of your other ones.
