What monitor though?? 2560x1440 res you may be fine with a single 1080 and safe with 1080 res. Above that and 4k you want 2x 1080.

I have samsung uhd 4k @60hz but my displayport cable is giving me 30hz for 4k ughhh thats another chapter. Can you help me on that too? I did order one from amazon it says the cable provides 4k at 60hz...hopefully it does...

Damn man it raining bad crap over there! Better check the monitor stats and manual for 60hz. That would hurt of its only 30hz. They sell 30hz 4k monitors still?

What the monitor model? That's a TV right? Oled?

Too many beers at lunch today.. hehe

Specs: Samsung 28" 4K UHD 60Hz 1ms GTG TN LED FreeSync Gaming Monitor (U28E590D) - Black/Titanium Silver
 
i got it from best buy.

For Nvidia and gaming one would want a g-sync monitor.. here the one I got..

http://www.bestbuy.com/si...54304.p?skuId=4854304. I peg 164fps in bf4.

Free sync don't work with Nvidia only amd cards.

Asus does have a 32" ultra wide g-sync monitor but it's $1200 retail.

There's some g-sync 4k monitors but in 27". Smaller screen plus 4k has gota make everything in Windows tiny.

oh yeah i looked into that asus monitor but it has 4ms response time which is a no-no. I am a street fighter competitor and I use that monitor for PS4 as well and omg i can ABSOLUTELY tell the difference compared to my old asus 3ms monitor. i like tiny icons and such on my monitor :) but unfortunately it runs @30hz..... are there any legit cables that can push 60hz? :/

DisplayPort 1.2 handles 3840x2160 @60Hz.  Make sure you go into the settings of the monitor and 1) turn off Freesync (AMD cards only)   2) look for refresh rate or similar setting and set to 60Hz.  If this doesn't fix then check Advanced Display Settings in Windows 10 - if still a prob then check Nvidia Control Panel > Display >  Change Resolution and pick 3840x2160 (it should say "Native"), and set refresh rate to 60Hz.

Okay thank you! I should have the cables by today or tomorrow xD

I can't thank you enough! To what you guys are saying. I am more than convinced that they have scammed me and took me for a fool...level of depression is too high right now....

Don't let the depression get to you too much. It does look like you got a pretty awesome machine. You should really enjoy using it.
 

When i asked where i can add the liquid when water evaporates they said they don't know...

Yeah, you don't ask random PC people who don't water cool questions like that, because they won't know, but the answer is dirt simple: you put water back the same place you put it when you set up the loop. :-) If you're building a custom loop that means you simply add some more coolant to the reservoir, or if you use a customizable AIO system like the Swiftech kits you add water to the reservoir built on to their radiator. If you get a "closed loop" AIO (all in one) system like from Corsair then you don't add water at all.

You've come to a good place though if you want to learn about water cooling. There are some truly great, experienced people here. There are other forums as well where you can find good info. Also, look up Jayz2Cents on Youtube. He's got a lot of really good videos that go over liquid cooling, and I like his videos better than any of the other PC Youtubers.

It does but it's a non issue, since Windows has a setting that scales up the icons and such so that the desktop and programs and whatnot remain usable. But yeah, if I turn the scaling off on my 28" 4K monitor crap gets really tiny. In some ways that awesome because it's simply a reminder of just how high resolution these beasts really are. I've got stuff scaled up so it's still smaller than it was on my 24" monitor so I get more usable space on my monitor, but still larger than unscaled so I can actually use it.

thank you for the info seth! maybe in the near future if i plan on adding another water/liquid cooling system :)

I keep vacillating between 175% scaling and 200% scaling at 4K.  Basically at 200% the interface is exactly the same scaling as it is at 1080p @ 100%. However, as you know, it is so much crisper and detailed.

I've got mine at 150%. It took a small amount of adjustment on my part to get used to things being a little smaller, but it does make my monitor feel like it has more usable space, which it certainly does. And I agree, things look much cripser and detailed.

I just fired up the Witcher 3 a week or so ago and played for a couple hours. OMG. At 4K that game almost feels like watching a movie instead of a game. It's by far the most beautiful rendered video game I've ever seen. I haven't downscaled to 1080p to compare, but at 4K it's simply stunning.
