My current build is 7 years old this month

I think you maybe didn’t read what was said. Box was trashed and not the item. With Amazon you know exactly what’s up.

This is way beyond a regular damaged box. Don't get me wrong, I think it's awesome.. just shocked that a monitor so brand new and untouched can come in a box that was so heavily damaged. You couldn't even tell what the product was it was so beat up! (New boxes have the picture of the monitor on it!) I am starting to think it was some sort of warehouse incident and not a customer return. Didn't have any other shipping labels either.

I built my current desktop PC in January, 2012. That makes it 7 years old this month. It has remained the same since except for me changing out the original 16 GB Corsair Vengeance DDR3 1600 MHz RAM to 16 GB Corsair Dominator Platinum DDR3 2133 MHz because a stick of that original Vengeance RAM kept going bad on me despite repeated RMAs.

Also, the only other thing that I kept changing/upgrading was the graphics card. I originally included a GTX 560 Ti 448 Cores which was then upgraded to the GTX TITAN (2013) and then a GTX 980 Ti and now finally a GTX 1080 Ti.

I can play Battlefield V at 1440p at ultra settings with an average fps of around 90-100 depending in the map/situation.

Lastly, I also did change the monitor (Samsung SyncMaster S23A700D), speakers (Corsair SP2500), and mouse (Logitech G9x) because they started having issues.

I don't think I'll be doing any more changes/upgrades to this build. Next stop for me will be a completely new build but I am not sure when that will be as I am having no issues running any games as of now.

Run Crysis and Crysis Warhead to completion on highest and hardest at 1440p 8xAA come back if the house didn't go up in flames.:lol: and no dips below 60fps, happy birthday rig.

Well, I did try playing Battlefield V with DXR on my GTX 1080 Ti with the latest NVIDIA drivers. Went from 90-100 fps at ultra settings at 1440p down to around 30 fps. :cry:

Until ultron and badskyes shows up with horrific font and grammar and a guy that tries to tell you 1080p 60hz black and white is the new meta.... :bleh:

i showed up for you ...

i want to correct you: 1200p 60hz on a photography-specialized monitor with one of the best quality IPS panels. The black and white implementation directly in hardware is gorgeous and intersting to play :hmm:

No, just no…I want colors, vivid and fairly accurate, no tearing or flickering, pixel density….lots and lots of pixel density…I want all the graphical goodness my poor little midranges rig can deliver, until I can get more than mid range and then I’ll want even more. :hmm:

I did buy that monitor (Benq sw240) for that.The pixel density is at its best.It's a photography specialized monitor after all.The hardware black and white mode was just an unexpected bonus.There is still a part of me that misses that photography monitor. :)
