2005chuy Gsync monitor? I'm looking to buy a new monitor, 27-29" 1440p 120hz(+). I've got a gtx 1080 and a high end i7, don't remember which one exactly. I'm looking to play games like bf4, Overwatch, borderlands on max settings. I don't have experience with a monitor faster than 60hz,so idk if I'll prioritize higher frame rates or better visuals. I'm just a little fuzzy on gsync. I feel like I've read it's both important and unimportant to have it if I'm constantly pushing more than 60fps. I'm not sure what the exact impact of upgrading from a 1080p to 1440p resolution will have as well. So, gsync, yes or nah? pls

2005chuy Need more storage space So I'm running out of space on my computer to store files. Most of them are files I'd prefer not to lose, so I want to backup my stuff. I'll end up deleting some data over the weekend but it's still really full. I've been looking into raid, but it costs a bunch of money for either enclosures or raid cards, and I'd have to buy at least two more drives to run raid 5. I've currently got a 2011 Western Digital 2TB external hd, and an early 2013 Seagate 3TB hd. I'd be writing to the drive(s) very frequently. I think the only choices I have now is to get: a newer motherboard + cpu with built-in raid controllers, and two more 3tb hds for raid 5 (pretty sure you can remove hds from external enclosures, right?) a 4 tb hd, and

2005chuy Looking for a new monitor So right now I'm using an old 40" TV at 900p for my computer and I'm looking for an upgrade. I now have about 500-600$ max to spend on the best possible monitor I can get. I want a monitor between 25~30 inch. I'm not doing any photoshop stuff, just primarily watching movies and anime. I've been looking at a few different monitors, this one seems really good but I'd like some opinions. Oh and here's my current gpu if needed

2005chuy 2 in 1 laptops/tablets? Anyone have any recommendations for a good windows 8 2in1? I already have a desktop so I'm not looking for anything particularly powerful. I've got an Asus TF300T with an awesome attachable keyboard, but I'm tired of the android limitation.

2005chuy What can I upgrade? Alright so I want to upgrade my computer to run MS a little more smoothly, if possible.

2005chuy Streaming Video Trouble Alright so I've been having trouble streaming video from every website I've been on, including YouTube & DailyMotion. Most videos will only play for a few seconds and a few others have played for about a minute or so before it stops. For example, [url=http://www.dailymotion.com/video/xrxrkm_in-honor-of-the-fourth-of-july-the-top-10-greatest-movie-explosions-of-all-time-film-state_shortfilms]this[/url] video plays to exactly 1:08 before it stops playing (the video has already finished loading). I've tried it on both HD and SD, same thing. Another example, [url=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3_qF_FSfm8E&feature=g-all-a&list=PLA48B3068BF5AF344]this[/url] video stops playing after only 3 seconds. I've tried b
