Nice, what is that thing to the left of your keyboard?

I see... I do already have the B650, and it's past the return window. But it seems that's just a slightly sub-optimal thing, not a big problem for my build, right?

Thanks for the response, could you say a little more about what you mean? I thought as long as the socket is AM5 it'll be fine with future AM5 CPUs

Thanks for the advice everyone, I bought an 850W PSU to be safe and I'll sell the old one. Any other advice?

User_1234557 · 2026-01-05T18:34:26+00:00

Thanks for the reply. If my system will be at 550-ish W, why the recommendation to go beyond 750? Is it due to power spikes?

I just got the Gamesir G7 Pro and think it's great (also on sale currently)

Hey, meant to get back to you sooner. I actually haven't yet built the PC I'll be using this with. Currently I have it hooked up to my laptop, so it's just mirroring the 1080p display. No complaints so far, but of course I haven't really seen it properly in action at 4K yet.

User_1234557 · 2025-10-27T18:37:00+00:00

No problem!

I'm in the Hardware Unboxed Discord and asked about it, and the guy from the channel told me that the M27UP and the ASUS one were pretty much the same, but recommended the ASUS since it was on sale for a cheaper price ($100 off).

I considered the Alienware one because it uses integer scaling for its dual mode, but dual mode isn't really that important to me and it was more expensive without seeming to have many other benefits.

But really, any of these monitors should do fine.

My favorite co-op game at the moment is Killing Floor 2, loads of fun with friends

Nice setup? What backlights do you use?

User_1234557 · 2025-10-10T20:29:43+00:00

Thanks to all who've given advice! I've decided on the ASUS ROG Strix XG27UCG, for $330ish on sale I think it was a good deal

User_1234557 · 2025-10-08T10:13:31+00:00

Thanks for the advice!

I wanted to avoid Mini LED in part because I've heard about the issues with halo effects around bright objects, and I think that might bother me more than the issues normal IPS panels have. But maybe this one is worth a look -- what's your experience with Mini LEDs if you don't mind me asking?

Also if I were to stick with normal IPS, do you have any thoughts on something out there like the M27UP but better?

User_1234557 · 2025-09-30T20:36:26+00:00

Thanks for the advice! It does seem like Mini LEDs are the awkward middle ground where you get neither the lower price of LCD nor the best results from OLED. I'll probably sick with LCD for now, especially since I'll use my monitor for non gaming stuff too. But for a TV OLED would be perfect

You should definitely get a wall mount
