I was reading that for the new AMDs Gsync is way better.
Does the ms responce matter? Looking at 1ms joints.

Yeah def get the 1 ms response time if you can, you don't know what you'll notice till you notice, everyone is different. Personally I can't distinguish response times that low, 1 or 5 doesn't matter to me, but some folks can.

what you think about this?
I think the other rig for 350 more was a way better deal, but??

Yeah ... i know ... just wanted a second opinion.
The other deal was way better for 350. Individually it would be more.
I really want that 3080 or 6800xt

This joint came baxk in stock.
Got it.
So free sync is the best monitors for the Intel/3080 right? Or is it GSync?
Not convinced with this ****, but desperate.
Hopefully something better comes along before the return policy is up.

Gsync is better, native support built for nvidia cards with better features but it's like a $400 premium added.
A couple resources that explain it better:
G-Sync vs FreeSync vs G-Sync Compatible: What you need to know
We explain everything you need to know about Nvidia and AMD's variable refresh rate tech, including how they're different and which one is best.
www.rockpapershotgun.com
G-SYNC Compatible vs Native G-SYNC [Guide] - Display Ninja
Native G-SYNC implies that the monitor has a dedicated module installed in the monitor while G-SYNC Compatible relies on Adaptive-Sync.

Seems pretty standard for a qhd ips screen. Not a deal, but good.

Gsync compatible is fine, it's just NVIDIA gpus using freesync. Native Gsync monitors (chip) cost a premium, and not a ton of manufacturers are including them anymore. Technically native is better, but not worth the price difference in most cases.
If you want an LG and want to save some moolah, consider the LG 27GL83a off Amazon. www.amazon.com/LG-27GL83A-B-Ultragear-Compatible-Monitor/dp/B07YGZL8XF
I scooped this up myself over Black Friday www.amazon.com/Pixio-Display-FreeSync-Esports-Monitor/dp/B08FXZVJH6

Man those look nice but won't ship until after xmas.
Only bought the PC because i would get it before.
I'm already thinking about returning if can find a reasonable deal or upgrading the RAM, MB, Power Supply, Fans and Case. Basically paid for the chip and VideoCard.

**** with the premium the 3080 is going for I'd sell the GPU and see how low you can get the rest of the rig for, how old is your other computer?

If playing on 1080p resolution doesn’t bother you and you’re only looking at monitors with high refresh rates than the obvious choice here is the Acer and Alienware. The Omen however is native 1440p with still a high refresh rate.

You have any recommendations for better res while still having a high refresh rate and 1ms?

Bought my son an entry level gaming PC for Christmas and it arrived yesterday (barely 15 hours after ordering it!). Ordered the one with a 256Gb SSD and I opened the case to check that everything was there - I was about to send it back because all of the hard drive bays are empty! After a minute I noticed a thing about the size of a postage stamp with 256 on the back. Crazy how small storage has got recently.

Yea its crazy storage has gotten smaller and faster. Hope he enjoys! As the user above said, maybe get an additional larger sized HD to store games.
