PC Build Advice/Review II: 5090 or Bust.

[Modoru]

I actually like the look of that more than the one in my build currently. It's a few dollars more expensive but not enough to upset the apple cart.

NZXT generally makes decent looking cases. The most popular these days seem to be between the S340, the Fractal Design R4, and a few select others.
I personally have a Corsair 750D, but I lucked out and got it on the cheap compared to its usual cost.
I specifically wanted/needed the airflow/dust filters though.
Wouldn't recommend them unless you want to spend 80+ on cases, since they go on sale v. randomly

So with my upcoming upgrades. I'm looking into how I can get my Windows 7 on to the new SSD and booting from that. I have no idea how that works. Pls help BG. Also, I'm gonna upgrade to Windows 10.

You can try using Clonezilla to clone your existing C: partition to a new SSD.

*edit*

You're moving to a new chipset though so don't expect it to work! It might, it might not.

[Zetanio]

If I already own a copy of Windows 7 can I install it via USB boot or something?

[Arkanna]

You can. I was assuming you meant you wanted to keep your current install, just move it to the new SSD.

[Zetanio]

Oh, I was just going to do a clean install. My current HDD is old and rife with shitty useless data. Probably for the best.

Sweet.

Also, once you've got Windows 7 installed (and cracked, if applicable), you want to download this: http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=691209

It's MS's "Windows 10 Media Creation Tool" and you can use it to upgrade to 10 without waiting for some janky system tray app to ask you.

[Zetanio]

I'll be doing that right away. Going to get started with Windows 10 instead of farting around.

Entry level 2k monitor.

Good?

[Arkanna]

Doesn't look bad, but I'd bet you end up surprised on how little that monitor actually is. 25" corner to corner, on a 21:9 screen, makes for a short monitor.

[Zetanio]

I'm a 20" and a 32" at home so I'm figuring it's right in the middle.

[Zetanio]

Eh.. I'm gonna hold off until after I've finished my new build. It looks like a decent one is the same cost as a GPU upgrade.

[Arkanna]

Not quite 10" high screen.

[Modoru]

21:9 screens have always thrown me off. Not quite what I'd look for in a screen, honestly, unless it's at least 32+", then it's passable, but even then...

I'd much rather stay 16:9.

Just my 2¢.

What would you all consider a moderate buy to get into the 1440p game

They start around $300, but you should probably look at $500 or so for a half-decent one.
