I made a few minor changes. I wasn't going to post, but in honor of the new thread here it is...

Just a question about monitors.

Is the refresh rate (Hz) same as response time?

Cyberdot

They are not the same.

The refresh rate is the number of times in a second that a display hardware draws the data. (examples: 60Hz, 120Hz, 144Hz)

Response time is the time a system or functional unit takes to react to a given input.

Factor in "ghosting" as well. Observe using something like PRAD.

Oh ok.

It's just tough to see the refresh rate on a range of monitors on their official websites. Don't know why they hide that information.

But I didn't mention TV though, I read up on it about monitors and I lol'd. I saw a difference like 2 seconds in.

And I got mine on amazon.

When people claim 120hz is a marketing gimmick, 99% of the time they're talking about TVs and not monitors. Anyone talking about 120hz monitors are plebs who've never seen one in person.

My PC is for my "Man Cave".

There is a PS3 in there somewhere.

Painting the grills is as close as I come to "custom mods"

I KNOW I KNOW!!! I just think the LED's are so puuuuuurrrrty... kinda like your mouth boy. lol It's my first PC, give me a break!

Grills look good. Looks like you need to adjust the overscan setting on your TV, so the picture fills the whole display.C_Rule

Tell me how and I'll be grateful!  I tried a few things but when I get it right, it screws up my res in games.

edit:

HAHAHAH I fixed it!  SO simple.  I'm a noob hahahah

Blurred a few things, also I'm a student, so my setup isn't ideal :P

Also photos were taken with tablet in poor lighting conditions. Forgive me.

Nice rig!

The 3930k should OC fantastically.

For the 680, will depend a lot on the model and factory OC.

To be honest 1200 watt is barely enough for 2 GPU's. You never want to utilize more than 80% of the power supply. To be safe 2 GPU's should run 1600 watt power supply and 3 GPU's I would run atleast 2000 watt's and you would see a difference in performance with the same hardware. You really don't want the power supply to run warm otherwise it's being pushed too much. One of the main things I hear are people talking about stuttering and crashing and that's because of the lack in power. RimacBugatti
