The Computer Megathread

I need some people who know monitor stuff to find a good monitor. 20-23 inches or whatever the standard monitor size is, I want it to be a nice, non off-brand, and full-res though, those are the only requirements.

no price range?
"full-res?"
what resolution are you asking for? 1920x1080 (1080p)?

[Extrude]

I don't know what the conversion is from inches to pixels for 20-23 inch but it's probably something like that.

It's a little more expensive than that acer but trust me, it's beautiful c:

brb getting an ssd but i already have a 2tb hdd
boot ssd? down for it.

It sure as hell is a good investment.  Bought a 64GB SSD.  Enough for Windows, my documents/etc., and GTA4+Civ5 with ~10GB to spare.  Really speeds up boot/shut down too, I don't even leave my computer on if I'm leaving the house anymore because it's so quick.

Here's a link to a cheap custom build you can make for $800 with all the workings, as well as some upgrade options (but to be honest you don't need 16GB of RAM as opposed to 8GB of RAM or a 3TB HDD as opposed to only 1TB).

I would suggest an AOC like the one I have which is this one exact.  I love it so loving much.

I'm so glad I bought a HP monitor than an acer one, all the bad things said about them.

First time using System Restore: no restore points while 10GB was wasted for 8 months.
now I can't hibernate windows without reinstalling :(

Acer monitors are amongst the best IMO. Just need to get the good SKUs.

Ethan, when I get my CPU at Microcenter I saw that they had this monitor. Do you think it is a safe bet?
