PC is now officially done EVGA Supernova P3 1200 Platinum is installed. Will overclock later too late now. Well base boost clocks went up to 2025 on its own with the new psu. 3Dmark score went up about 100 points with the new power supply. Guess that 850w was going oh please no.

Next up is an Acer EI342CKR Pbmiippx 34" 1500R 21:9 Curved QHD (3440 x 1440) Zero-Frame Gaming Monitor | AMD FreeSync Premium Pro | Up to 144Hz | 1ms VRB | HDR 400 | 93% DCI-P3 (2 x Display Ports & 2 x HDMI Ports) display. For 438 cannot complain, but bummed I missed the super Black Friday and Cyber Monday sale at Costco for 150 bucks... I wanted the Dell but no Freesync at 60 FPS and below and black smear in dark scenes, the ASUS TUF was Black Smear behind fast moving objects. At around 500+ I could not justify that vs the cost.

You will eventually find one at the end of the year sales at the stores. All you need to do is ask the sales manager at the stores if the sales are coming to the monitor you want to buy.
I have gone to the stores a couple of times and spoken to the manager about buying a certain product and negotiate the price im willong to pay. It will take time to negotiate but the chances of getting it at the price you want to pay is 50/50.

Really do not want to wait that long, the 280 days, then the over a week for the psu when I discovered my potential max loads after the fact being way off of what I thought they would be at stock, and now that I noticed it again the whole not being able to see small text in games. It's a larger display or running my 27" at 1080p and hating the pixelated mess I see.

Last pic until the new display gets here and if I decide if I am going to keep it or not. Really should had not have bent that extension on that RX480 card while waiting for my stepup... oh well. If EVGA ever restocks braided psu cable maybe in like black and grey too I will get some. I really wish they had a powerlink for a 3080 FTW3 Ultra...

Well unless I have any bright idea's anytime soon it is done, I may go with a z690 ddr4 and 12th gen i9 next year, maybe some nicer sleeved cables. But the 34" Ultrawide 1440p display is in, text is actually a tiny bit larger not by much, went ahead and made text/icons 125% bigger in windows.  This is going to take some getting used to. But honestly all my games look amazing and for 436 bucks its an awesome display with the same issues as the 500-600 dollar displays with blacksmear. Was not about to pay that much more for some usb ports and nicer display speakers I would never use.
