So, I am getting a new CPU/Motherboard/RAM etc. after all.

Amazon order placed so will be here by 1300L tomorrow.

Not happy. But also, kind of happy. I can't play with my new monitor until tomorrow, boooooooo.

What monitor did you get Eddie? Interested to hear the specs of the new machine...im almost to upgrade time too

[Eddie]

I got one of these - https://www.overclockers.co.uk/showp...odid=MO-081-DE

34 inches of ultra wide awesomeness.

Have it running now hooked up to the Mac and it is truly amazing to behold. 4k can sod off imo, ultra wide is where it's at, especially for gaming.

Drool.....

The monitor really is brilliant, not "too" big on the desk either. The TM MFDs provide good scale I think.

On the left is my old "main" monitor which is a 24" Dell, now turned vertical so it fits on the desk with the 34".

New hardware on the way, should arrive tomorrow morning (gotta love Amazon Prime)

Think you're really going to fly or just sit and google at the awesomenees of the display and graphics?

And..?

Did Carol come by once more today?

No just the royal mail today, with two more nice packages. PC now up and running, but I've got to do a windows reinstall in a few minutes, because as expected Win 10 won't activate again following the hardware change.

But I am typing this from a running PC, booted into my current windows install. And yes it's a bit annoying that I've got to go from a fully configured install to a fresh one.
