I have a MSI laptop with a I5 4210m, GTX 970m, a samsung evo 850 256 GB SSD and 16 GB DDR3 ram.
I barely use it for gaming anymore.

Hi, it's fantastic as far as IPS monitors go. Amazon lists it as 8ms but its actually 6ms in "gaming mode". Its classified as Class 1 [Less than 16ms / 1 frame lag] on TFT Central (http://www.tftcentral.co.uk/reviews/dell_u2515h.htm#lag). Text is scaled at 150% by default and everything is crip and clear. 100% scaling does put strain on the eyes despite text being clear as well.

Games look fantastic, you can even disable terrible post AA and have a nice, clean and relatively jaggy free "native downsampled" image.

Some users complain about lightbleed and unreliable menu button response,I havent had any issues with mine however.

Overall its a fantastic monitor and I have no problem recommending it. All these reviews sold me on it:

Thanks!

Mine is also a Dell IPS monitor, the U2311H, so I don't mind trading a bit of lag for better colors. That this new one has even less lag is great news.

I guess I'd have to change the scaling (maybe I could set it at 125%), but that's not a problem at all.

Anyway, thanks for the input.

So when do we form the VGC PC master race club?

I have a Medion Erazer gaming laptop.

6700HQ, GTX1070, 32GB RAM, 500GB SSD, 2TB HDD.  17'' 1080p screen, I hook it up to my 49'' 4k TV when gaming though.

Still playing more on my PS4 Pro and now Switch though. There's almost always some shit not working properly when I install a game. The wasted time setting up shit is not worth the slightly better graphical fidelity and better framerate imo.

As for those not wanting Win10, just like windows 8.1 it is faster and more stable than the earlier OS versions but takes a bit of work to remove the crap part of it. The worst part about it is not the privacy aspect as that is easily fixed. The worst part about Win10 OS is that it will force restart its self to install updates. This does not happen as often as it used to since MS has moved to a Monthly patch install schedule instead of nearly weekly.

Since people have been bringing up Monitors. I have a decent little 22" 1080p IPS. I want to upgrade to a QHD but am waiting for an OLED(maybe IPS) QHD with HDR and GSync before I upgrade my monitor. HDR is just starting in the PC world so it'll probably be more than a year before I upgrade my Monitor.

Why would you be buying such a PC at this point? I mean, unless you're getting a crazy deal, it's a bad call to buy this stuff at this point. And this comes from an i5 6600k user, who barely dodged buying the RX 480 (in favour of the upcoming VEGA obviously). Wait for more Ryzen info and Intel's reaction (it's bound to happen). Wait for Vega. You won't regret it and it's not a long wait, if you plan to buy in a month either way.

i7 6700 is $269 at Microcenter (+$30 off a mobo), gaming performance is easily a R7 1700 beater ($330)

At $269, that's a great CPU value given its stock performance. Compound to it that with a Z170 board you can get a ~4.4Ghz(easily without pushing voltage) manual overclock even though its a non-K processor. I would pay the extra $10 for the 6700k ($279) , but a 6700 is not a bad move whatsoever.

I hope you're fine with an IPS display, because it will take quite a few years before we get OLED monitors (big problems with burn-in).

Also, be careful. Most monitors aren't HDR10 compliant, despite offering some sort of HDR.

Yeah I know...  (solemlny shakes head)

That is why I am expecting to likely have to wait until next year before I upgrade my monitor.

I almost pulled the trigger on the newer ASUS Gsync IPS monitor until I learned they are still using an 8-bit panel with color dithering to achieve 10-bit(like) color scale. There are other true 10-bit IPS panels that meet all but 1 requirement, that being GSync, but if I am going to drop $500-$800 on a monitor it needs to have every feature I want. However, now that HDR is on its way into the PC market I it only adds another must have feature. Being an A/V nut with high standards does not help my wallet one bit.
