Hi there,
I am starting University this fall and with that i am building a new rig for the first time in 6-7 years. So i have had a lot of catching up to do hardware wise. The machine will mostly be used for study/programming but with some casual gaming. But i also also want to be ready for next gen VR(as this gen doesn't seem quite mature).
So far i have decided on GTX 1080 and Samsung 950 NVMe m.2. So far so good.
Then i started looking at display. I like the idea of a 34" screen. That way i can work with one screen instead of two(as i am doing now). And the curved displays seem appealing.
I was going to go with the Acer X34A seeing as that seemed to be the best display. But then i saw that the Dell u3415w was almost half price in my country. So i started researching. I read the review here on TH for the Dell u3415w and it was highly recommended.
Now after reading on the forums for the last week i am getting more and more overwhelmed with info and confused about what to pick.
One person wrote that curved displays were bad for work?
Then there's the 144hz vs. g-sync inssue.
With a GTX 1080 will i even notice any tear/stutter?
Is the Dell not a good choice for gaming? Are there other screens that i should look at?
Is there rumored new HW coming out this summer that should be considered?(I have until September til i start school)
I am appologize about all the questions.. thanks in advance
