If you haven't already upgraded from 8GB of ram I would do that immediately 8GB is not enough for gaming RX 5700 XT is another good option for upgrading can be found relatively inexpensive on the used market
I did upgrade to 16 GB awhile ago, that was the first thing I wanted to upgrade in my pc cause yeah 8 GB is nothing when you’re using it for gaming lol
I think you downgraded from your old IPS monitors, as your new main monitor (The Acer Monitor) is VA. The listing is quite misleading, stating 'Widescreen VA Gaming Monitor' and 'Quality Visuals - The KG241Y 23.8" IPS monitor with 1920 x 1080 Full HD resolution in a 16:9 aspect ratio.' However, the manufacturer’s website confirms that it is indeed a VA panel. IPS and high refresh rate can be found at a similar price range
Ah okay, I never realized that tbh when I purchased the new monitor. For me, the screen quality still looks great, I think both IPS and VA panels have pros and cons depending on their purpose (gaming or office use) but in the future if I buy new monitors for my setup, I’ll pay more attention to the screen type
A friend of mine is interested in buying my pre built so if that happens I’m gonna build my own pc with newer specs, hopefully sometime soon so I can really take advantage of the new monitor’s refresh rate

i think you have the same koorui monitor as mine it could be 165hz like mine
Oh nice! Mine tops out at 75 HZ but that’s all I wanted for a secondary monitor as I won’t be doing any gaming with that one

@@hollowthread the VA panel is pretty much a VA and IPS panel combined
withy a better gpu you'd be able to get so much more fps
