Gaming monitor recommendation

Thanks to everyone so far for the responses, given me a lot more to look at. Currently at work but going through the various links and reading up on some of the the things being posted. The U28D590D looks very nice. Even though I know my card won't be able to run games @ 4K right now I'm still...

Gaming monitor recommendation

GPU: GTX 680 (May be looking to upgrade soon-ish) I do a lot of gaming, video editing, and general browsing. I also create gaming videos for YouTube which will soon(??) be allowing 60 FPS videos so being able to stay at 60+ FPS with my current card is important. I use my computer 10-12+...

Looking for Laptop - Lots of encoding, light gaming

Size/weight isn't a big deal. I will probably take it to work occasionally but it doesn't need to be ultra portable. CPU power is more important as I'll be doing a lot of encoding. So, beefier; a half-pounder with cheese I'd say. Thanks for this. Going to check them out. One question...

Looking for Laptop - Lots of encoding, light gaming

I'm looking for a laptop as you may have guessed from the title. It will mostly be for encoding videos (Vegas,) but I'd like to have the option to play games on occasion. This will be a secondary machine; I have my desktop for 95% of my gaming needs. What I'm looking for: - Quality screen -...

Thanks for the feedback guys. I'm thinking of having her go with the Thinkpad E520. I'm going to have her go by a reseller in her area and see if they have any available to take a look at one first to make sure she likes them (probably today) and get one ordered from the site tonight before...

Need recs for casual use laptop

Honestly I've not been keeping up with laptops so I'm not sure what kind of materials/finishes are used for the nicer looking displays. Basically I'd like it to be able to display sharp images and colors as opposed to how some laptops have that "dull" look. This isn't a necessity and I...

Need CPU/MoBo/RAM reqs

Yes, sorry. Should have been more clear on that. Sounds like good reasoning. I think I'll go with the 1090T and 4 gigs of RAM. What's the word on MoBo/RAM manufacturers? Any that are recommend or that I should stay away from?

Need CPU/MoBo/RAM reqs

1. What YOUR PC will be used for. That means what types of tasks you'll be performing. Mostly working with photos and converting audio files. Some very light gaming. 2. What YOUR budget is. A price range is acceptable as long as it's not more than a 20% spread This is negotiable if it...
