Holy crap what a massive difference with this monitor. So clear and crisp, I have so been behind the times. Helped that the graphics card turned up yesterday so ran some 3dmark test and whoa not used to this sort of power hahahah.

The Dell was a good choice, and well priced.

So i decided I wanted to upgrade the system already and have added the following.

Another 16gb of the same ram so now have 32gb total

Changed out the cpu to a 6700k

This is the bit I am interested in and wondered how many other people had these and what you thought of it. I put in one of these.

I cant believe how much of a difference this has made over my SSD which I thought was bloody fast in the first place.

Pretty grunty machine now. Should keep you going for a while. Yeh those drives are pretty good. Another thing that people are getting into is M.2 drives. They are much the same price and in some cases cheaper . Glad you are happy. Did you overclock the CPU yet? You don't buy a K chip and leave it stock clocked :)

Just the standard overclock to 4.6 , Pretty stoked with the system now should be a few years before I need to do anything. Pehaps a bigger monitor , should have gone for the 27" and not the 24".
