It has an option to switch between 4k and 1080p, the 4k is more for videos and images.

4k has literally no use at a 15.3" display unless you're sitting ten inches from the screen. A PPI of 300 (or 4k at 15.3") is pretty much the maximum that eyes can distinguish for that distance. 100 PPI is the maximum for about two feet, the normal distance from a desktop monitor. Hell, even retina displays on macbooks have a PPI of like 200.

I plan to get a few certifications so I can go into the IT field for a bit.

Also, can someone explain to me how RAID 2 through 6 Works? I already know RAID 0 and RAID 1, but I dont understand the concept of Parity

So has anyone ever had problems with unresponsive GPUs? The fan turns on but the monitor doesn't respond. The monitor is definitely not problem, I have tested it on three different PCs and it works fine. I am questioning the motherboard because the speaker it came with that plugs in to make sure everything is working hasn't made a peep. I have tried plugging it in different places and flipping it over but it doesn't make noise. The GPU could be a dud, but the guy who gave it to me said it worked perfectly last time he used it.

Did you install the drivers yet? Try booting the computer with the graphics card completely removed

Must have sent me the wrong one. I don't think my motherboard has a Sooket AM3+
I'm making fun of a printing error.
