So I decided to delid my 7700K and was pleased with the results. I don't have the setup eXistenceLies does but my CPU hit 5.2 GHz and was stable enough to run Cinebench @ 1.392V and scored 1130. This tiny motherboard is pretty damn capable.

Picked up an Acer Predator XB271HU at Costco for 499. 27" IPS 144/165hz GSync 2560x1440. Yuge upgrade. Getting about 120fps in DOOM on Ultra and notice the difference coming from 60hz.
Also mirin how thin the bezel is

I've got some SSD questions boyos
1) Is it hard to transfer an old SSD to a new SSD? Im looking to upgrade from 256 to 500 or even 1TB. Some google searching is telling me i need a special program etc?
2) Any difference in brands? Currently have Samsung but i can see other brands are cheaper?

2) The difference between brands is usually read/write rates, though it's not much of a difference for standard SATA III drives. If you start looking at M.2 NVME drives or U.2, or PCI Express x4 interface SSD's, then the speed ramps up pretty significantly.
SATA III drives are usually around 500-550Mbps read/write with a 6GBps transfer rate over the SATA III cable
M.2 is similar read/write but a 10GBps transfer rate
M.2 NVME, U.2 NVME, and PCI Express x4 NVME are between 2100-3500Mbps read, and around 1600Mbps write. I think U.2 is slightly faster than M.2, and PCI Express x4 3.0 should be around 4GBps transfer rate.
U.2 is a pretty uncommon interface standard so I wouldn't bother looking at them (they're kind of overtly expensive too and not much faster than M.2 NVME). If your board supports an M.2 slot which uses x4 PCI Express lanes, you can use either a Samsung 960 EVO or 960 Pro (which I think is 3500Mbps). They're pretty badass drives.
960 Evo:
https://www.amazon.com/Samsung-960-E...amsung+960+evo
$249 for a 500GB model, 3200Mbps read, 1900Mbps write. Beast mode.

Like most goods you pay for what you get. In the case of (Samsung) SSD, that's quality in construction, and a better guarantee.◄FILMM∆KER CRW►

Are there great monitors for cheaper or would I be stupid to pass this up?
