I haven't build a system in about a decade, and never done an ITX board before. My last build was an X99 board with an Intel 5820k (a processor now technically a decade old!!). Served me well over the years, only ever updating the video card from a 980TI to a 3080 about 3 years ago (yes, I know it's bottlenecked), and a monitor upgrade to a 3840x1600 144hz Ultrawide at same time. Was able to play Cyberpunk and Hogwarts at 3840x1600 pretty well with DLSS, and Starfield also runs surprisingly well (considering console is locked 30fps). Better than I thought it would, at least, lol. A damn fine overall lifespan for that build though!

Anyway, it's been a long enough wait for a full platform

About to take the plunge from a decade+ old HP 1080/60 monitor to either a 38gl950g-b or an 38gn950g-b.

Seems like the main differences are:

1. Price - the N is cheaper than the G due to

2. G having Gsync fpga module vs N having only compatability (I assume more a freesync implementation)

3. G has a fan, N doesn't. Also a presume the fan is a function of having the gsync hardware module.

4)N has HDR 600, while G is HDR 400 (both HDR implementions are crap, as far as I'm concerned, I would probaly just disable, as the dimming zones are more distracting than the supposed value they add to the image quality)

Now, as far as I can tell. the only real difference between the models, is that

So, Cyberpunk looming, new Nvidia cards pending, lots of monitor options available now, the time is right for that upgrade.

Current build, I put together basically in November 2015:

Mainboard: ASUS X99-A/USB 3.1 LGA 2011-v3 Intel X99

Power: EVGA SuperNOVA 850 G2 80+ GOLD

Video: ZOTAC GeForce GTX 980 Ti AMP! 6GB

Processor: Intel Core i7-5820K Haswell-E 6-Core 3.3 GHz

Memory: G.SKILL Ripjaws V Series 32GB (4 x 8GB) 288-Pin DDR4 SDRAM DDR4 2800 (PC4 22400)

Primary Storage: SAMSUNG 950 PRO M.2 512GB PCI-Express 3.0 x4 Internal Solid State Drive (SSD) MZ-V5P512BW - (In motherboard slot, OS installed)

Later Added:

Secondary Storage: SAMSUNG 960 EVO M.2 1TB NVMe PCI-Express 3.0 x4

The color mix on the pick screen is awful, particular for reddish heroes. Clinks portrait literally green. Love to see this fixed at some point. Eventually.

I'm trying to see how the back of that cape looks. Quit rotating the hero to the front.

Usually I have armory sorted by hero, and you used to be able to jump to the hero by typing the name in. This doesn't work anymore. Typing has letters show up but you don't jump around any more.

When sorting by heroes, can't jump around the armory by typing the hero name in anymore. Literally not unplayable, but super annoying.

No, not 3k MMR. 3k DMG. Three Thousand Hero Damage. On Anti Mage. In a 38 minute match.

Fuck. That. Shit.
