Like i said i'm not a PC gamer guy originally so i'm totally not clued up on the refresh rate and 144Hz and 200 Hz monitors can anyone fill me in on them?

The 4K TV that i want to use and have bought is this one:

I believe the refresh rate is 120Hz

@mrbojangles25:Thanks, that makes the most sense to me, i couldn't picture how it would work sitting on a bed or couch with a keyboard on your lap and a most to the side, didn’t seem practical at all. With a monitor on a desk then yeah i could've just put the mouse and keyboard on the same table and used it like that but with a 65 inch 4K TV that isn’t going to happen haha.

Mind if i ask a potential silly question to? One of the games i plan on playing again is Battlefront 2, take a scenario for example flying an X-Wing using the controller always seemed great to me and made the most sense because you could fly in all directions and angles. Could you explain how that would be possible with a KB + mouse? What I’m getting at it is, up, down, right and left seem to be the only options on a keyboard whereas on a controller you get all angles. How would this work?

Thanks

Hi, so I've predominately been a console gamer my whole life (a very good one if i dont say so myself), i'm at the point where i'm close to buying an extreme gaming unit, i9 CPU, RTX 2080i 64GB RAM etc... it'll hook up to a 65 inch 4K QLED TV. Thinking about the different options i have and I've come down to 2 different ones:

1. Use 4K TV when gaming but use a controller

2. Use 4K TV when gaming but somehow use a mouse and keyboard while sitting infront of the TV

I just cant see how i'd use the mouse and keyboard on a TV that size whereas with the controller you can sit and move wherever you want etc... if i end up using the controller then what are the chances of me getting my ass kicked? Yes i'm aware the mouse and keyboard for shooters etc... will be the better choice but can't see any workarounds at the moment.

Any advice?

@horgen: @BassMan:

I need the RAM to run quite a number of resource heavy extensive network images (Cisco related) in a piece of software called GNS3 for work basically. One image alone requires 32GB by itself to run so i'm undecided at the moment.

@BassMan: Haha, fair enough you got me there. I do really need a laptop to be honest for mobility but if i'm going to be spending thousands i like the idea of just getting the absolute best at the moment. I've decedied to pre order the RTX 280 Ti no SLI, but i'm stuck on RAM choices. If there was an option (which there is) between 128GB 2666mhz vengeance DDR4 RAM and 3000mhz 64GB RAM same make, what would you personally go for and why?

Cheers

@BassMan: Not anymore, taking into consideration the amount of heat that a laptop will generate with these parts i think i'm going to go with a desktop and i could get RTX 2080's in SLI and i was wondering if that would be a good idea and didn't see how it could be a bad one?

@BassMan: @BassMan:To be honest they've an option for their desktops where you can order a machine and for the GPU you can order the RTX 2080 as a preorder for the unit. I think i'm going to do that instead, but you can also have them in SLI to haha, which i'm think about as well to be honest. Why would that be a worse thing though? I just cant see how. I'm going to go all out for this so i may as well get them in SLI if possible.

Hi, i'm very close to ordering a custom laptop off PCSpecialists, the specs are i7–8700, 2 SSD M.2 2TB drives, 64GM DDR4 RAM and at the moment 2 NVIDIA Geforce 1080 GPUs, it has to be a laptop as i need it for work to run very high end resource heavy network devices on the move but i thought i may as well go all out and see what i could get (highest everything that they're offering on their site) and that is the absolute max in terms of CPU's,GPU's,RAM SSD etc... If i'm running 2 NVIDIA GeForce GTX1080 with the others specs in the machine, what would i be looking at when running the latest and future games. That was my main reason for putting 2 in, it's all well and good having a great GPU now but in a year or 2 it might struggle when running future games as is the case when buying any GPU whatever time you buy it.

What are peoples thoughts?

Thanks

Probably none

You'd get a lot more joy out of custom building either a laptop or desktop with so much more resource and power from sites like PCSpecialists are someone like that, you'd get more value for money to. I dont like buying anything desktop or laptop related in retail shops.
