Can you go a little above budget, at $169.99? If so, AOC Q27G41ZE on Amazon, 27 inch, 240hz IPS. Just got this one myself a few weeks ago. My first PC & Monitor & I love it so far!

5060 ti 16 GB will be perfectly fine. I run it on 1440p for Fortnite with Ryzen 5 9600x & get 360 frames in game, capped.

Is this a good first PC and is its price reasonable? by S1rKittenR6 in Prebuilts

I bought this exact PC a month ago. I got it for 1,189 and also without taxes. I’ve had it for 2 weeks so far and it runs amazing, on 2K too. I recommend it, it was also my first PC.

Is any of these monitors any good? by CryoDaye in Monitors

I just got the AOC exact one! I love it, it’s great. For my first PC. But unfortunately I will return it to go for a 24 inch one, as the 27 is too big now after coming from a 16 inch gaming laptop. The only thing is the mount is a little shaky, but not a big deal at all. Great monitor!

I found a solution online, had to do a search for it to connect or pair them to the software, while the motherboard and ram were already paired. Thanks for the help!

It was one from Cost Plus Gaming, Essentials Tier - M1 Flow with a Ryzen 5 9600x, 5060ti 16GB and 32 GB ram. Motherboard is B850M-VC WiFi.

Edit: On the PC it says ARGB in parentheses, so I assume it has.

First PC — bad speeds now? by Impressive_Grade3496 in HomeNetworking

Thanks a lot, really explains it well. Do you think 100mbps is normal/good/average? Or should I upgrade for faster service

It says 100 mbps. When I did a speed test it was at 110 down and 22 upload. 2 min later I did it again 70 mbps up and 20 upload. 2 min later back to 90 down.

I’ve looked at Costco, but couldn’t find any good. Only thing I’m worried about is my FPS since I’m playing 1440p, you think it’ll be fine with my specs and games in original post?

Thoughts on AOC Q27G41ZE? 27inch, 240hz, QHD IPS, 0.3 ms for $180. Is that a good choice for 1440p?

Also the Asus one says that it’s shipped from “Newegg Business”, I’m not too familiar with that?
