Question Screen size and other opinions/recommendations?

I mostly play games like CIV and Total War on my PC but used to love CS so who knows right? i haven’t built a rig in a decade and think I’m gonna end up with a 2080super as the GPU I have been back and forth between 27,32, curved, flat etc.... Most blogs seems to indicate a 27in QHD IPS...

Is this iBuyPower as good a value as it looks?

Awesome. Thanks. I appreciate the time. Is the cooler supplied with the CPU sufficient? Any big reason to go AMD over Intel? I also noticed my current case collects a nice layer of dust on all the important stuff. Any tips on keeping it out? I guess it never really hurt anything. Any...

Is this iBuyPower as good a value as it looks?

Would an air cooling system be better? I'd be happy to build if I could get better parts, performance, and quiet operation. I'm not opposed to building, I'm just old now with kids and the simplicity appealed to me. I don't have the knowledge to overclock or anything (suppose I would Google it...

Anyone remember an old HD google indexer?

Advice to replace current work laptop?

What would the drawbacks of this be? I specd out a T460 and with an I5 vs this I7 it was $250 more I'm guessing this "home" laptop will have a shorter battery and be less rugged than the T class business model... am I missing anything else?

Advice to replace current work laptop?

Basically I am in insurance sales and I picked up a refurb Ideapad Sattelite that has a touch screen a couple years ago that I really like. The software I run mainly has to produce 40 and 50 page pdf to show clients on the sopt, and it is obnoxiously slow. Also the battery will drain with 2...

I was going to build a HTPC, or anything to return Comcast their DVR to them, then I read the XBOX1 has a TV tuner but that the only content it will record is your game footage (yeah, I want 200gb of that). I thought it would be perfect if it coulad act as an HD tuner and DVR but no? Is it...
