[reef monolith]

how much money do you get from ur bday and all holidays

[scenic latch]

Also getting another monitor and a dual monitor arm along with a singular liann li fan would make ur setup look fantastic

[wooden matrix]

Ok! I might do that

[keen zephyr]

maybe get another monitor and a monitor mount

[reef monolith]

?

[valid oxide]

How to do that at 14

[vagrant ember]

Have money 😂

[valid oxide]

I meant how does he afford it

[vagrant ember]

I mean I’m 15 and this my setup

[valid oxide]

Nice

[rotund owl]

@valid oxide has reached level 1. GG!

[vagrant ember]

What about u

[valid oxide]

Not home rn don’t have pic maybe later

[wooden matrix]

I saved up money for 3 years from birthdays and Christmas and eventually got enough

[valid oxide]

In only three years is crazy took me 10 just to build my own pc

[wooden matrix]

My PC costed about 1,300. I went for looks over performance ☠️

[wooden matrix]

Everything else is pretty cheap. For example I got my monitor for 130 and my desk for 150

[valid oxide]

That makes more sense thx for the info

[zinc lynx]

When you get that keyboard?

[tulip quail]

pc speces?

[spiral bobcat]

Love the pc man

[orchid aurora]

nice

[wheat valley]

You need LED lights around the back of the desk

[wooden matrix]

3070, 32 hb ram, 1tb ssd, i713700k, b760 rog strix mb, Lian li o11

[dense trout]

What is the wallpaper name

[wooden matrix]

Thanks!

[coral jetty]

@wooden matrix slide ur wallpaper

[novel oxide]

@wooden matrix could you send the whole set up if possible?

[crisp storm]

@wooden matrix this is hard, only i would recommend is to add some more personalization

[edgy mulch]

get a wireless mouse

[rancid pine]

Yo your setup looks the same as mine lol

[wooden matrix]

yea I am

[brisk yacht]

@wooden matrix what background?

looks fire

[wooden matrix]

get at least 1440p

also get a wireless mouse

[reef monolith]

Bin savind for 7 years omly got 200 bux 😦

[woeful night]

idk what your budget would be but if you can, get a 1440p 180 hz monitor ($200) and a new gpu since your cpu is fine. a gpu like an RX 7900 GRE ($550ish) would be good but if you are a slave to Nvidia then i guess like a 4070 super ($600ish)

[wooden matrix]

thanks for the help

[woeful night]

yeah np lmk if you want a link to the monitor

[wooden matrix]

sure

[woeful night]

https://a.co/d/1OaMAz5

[wooden matrix]

Is there anything other than AOC

I have had one of there monitors for over a year and it’s been very annoying

[woeful night]

what is the problem(s)

[wooden matrix]

Some times when I look at it from a angle it gets dark

The colors are really bad on it

[woeful night]

is it a VA panel?

[wooden matrix]

could be

It was pretty cheap so I am guessing

[woeful night]

why do you use it at an angle?

[wooden matrix]

I used it too mounted

[woeful night]

do you mind if i ask what your budget would be ideally at least?

[wooden matrix]

I just got a ASUS TUF 280 hz monitor

So something on the cheaper side that I would use as a second monitor

Has to be flat though

[woeful night]

@wooden matrix i dont mean to be rude but that isn't a great purchase at all. i promise you, going higher than 180hz for a monitor is a severe waste of money. the difference between 180 and 240+ isn't at all visible. however, the difference between 1080p and 1440p is something that many people notice. what resolution is the Asus one?

[wooden matrix]

My bad. It is 240 hz and 1440p I belive

[woeful night]

okay that is absolutely fine lol you had me really worried

[wooden matrix]

Haha

[woeful night]

have you gone into windows and changed the refresh rate to it's max?

[wooden matrix]

Yes

[woeful night]

okay nice. you want a secondary monitor right?

[wooden matrix]

Yea
Also wuestion should I do stacked or one on the side

[woeful night]

i recommend a vertical monitor on the left or right side (left imo is better)

[wooden matrix]

ok 👍

[woeful night]

can you send the link to it by chance?

[wooden matrix]

To what?

[woeful night]

the Asus monitor

[wooden matrix]

I will just doing smt right now

It’s 27 inch

Search this on Amazon: ASUS TUF Gaming 27” 1440P Gaming Monitor (VG27AQML1A) - QHD (2560 x 1440), 260Hz, 1ms, Fast IPS, Extreme Low Motion Blur Sync, G-SYNC compatible, FreeSync Premium, Variable Overdrive, DisplayHDR 40

[woeful night]

okay i see it nice. so for the secondary monitor, do you want to buy a stand with it or do you want a monitor that can spin on it's own stand

[wooden matrix]

I want a dual monitor mount any ideas for good ones?

budget?

[woeful night]

https://a.co/d/4HRLTvV this one is good but like any stand will force you to have a gap between the wall and your desk. would that be okay?

[rotund owl]

@woeful night has reached level 16. GG!

[woeful night]

now that i look at it though, it shouldnt protrude too far out

[wooden matrix]

Ok

[woeful night]

i have the monitor options too 1 sec

[wooden matrix]

k : )

[woeful night]

https://a.co/d/92PxGHg here's a Koorui monitor which is 27 inches 100hz ips and will work with the monitor arm

the reason i have two options though is in case you want to match the monitor's brands which will cost $40 more

https://a.co/d/7vHwQQp here's an Asus 27 inch 100hz ips and will also work with the arm

[wooden matrix]

Ty

Is the monitor I have the same color with both of those

[woeful night]

yeah theyre all black monitors

[wooden matrix]

No i mean

[rotund owl]

@wooden matrix has reached level 7. GG!

[wooden matrix]

Will they look wierd next time each other

Will the panels look different

[woeful night]

no theyre both IPS

and your monitor is IPS

[wooden matrix]

Ok thank you so much for the help!

[woeful night]

no problem. just to make sure, a gpu upgrade isnt in the question right? i cant remember if you said anything about that

[wooden matrix]

Not until I get a few thing first

but I am keeping a eye out

I’d I see anything I like on sale I might have to pick it up

[brisk yacht]

@wooden matrix you know whats the background?

[wooden matrix]

something from wallpaper engine

[wooden matrix]

yes

don’t remember the name but you can get on wallpaper engine I believe

[brisk yacht]

ok thank u

[rotund owl]

@brisk yacht has reached level 1. GG!

[coral carbon]

it’s called lonely winter

[brisk yacht]

tysm

[wooden matrix]

Sorry for late response it’s called lonely winter

[glacial frigate]

what keyboard you got?

[brisk yacht]

thank you

[brisk yacht]

btw crazy clean setup im 14 too

also I suggest adding some white panels on the wall behind the monitor

and maybe with some rgb bars

also you can stick some shelves on your wall and put some accessories on them

or some on your desk if you are not aiming for a minimalistic feel

[wooden matrix]

nah

that will ruin the vibe
