I know that some gamers would disagree, but if you are actually using your PC profesionally and gaming is nothing more than a hobby for you, you should think of spending the money you have for your PC on best components, like CPU, GPU, more or faster ram and so on and not on monitor. Gaming is the only field of computer usage where high refresh rate monitors make any difference and even there its not a big one. Definitely not worth the price of linked ASUS products, unless you make a living off gaming.

If I understand correctly this is a 240 Hz monitor. Do you also need to achieve 240 fps at minimum to benefit from the high frequency?

Probably best to ignore saucisson masque - I've read many of his posts and concluded he was probably bullied at school.

No-one NEEDS this stuff but we're not called PC master race for nothing. At low fps (like 20-30) I find scrolling causes stuttering in this any many games.

On the monitor front good advice is to sink your cash into a great PC and then save up for a monitor in the future with 4k hdr and gsync/freesync when prices have dropped a bit (because the premium monitors are now 8k 500hz or something)

That sounds reasonable, but keep in mind that even a gtx1080ti can still struggle in 4k, which is why most professional gamers rather use the aforementioned 1080p high Hz designs.

make sure to post your configuration before buying it, to avoid mistakes. which store are you planning to buy from?

oh, and fuck matlab, i`m currently using it for my master thesis and oh boy, i`m quite a bit fed up ^^

I think I will be buying from a local store here in the Netherlands:

Will try to build my own system according to the following configuration:

but with a higher wattage PSU (750 watt), an extra 4 TB hdd and maybe a good high frequency 1080p gaming monitor from asus.

As the 8700K processor is currently in short supply (and expensive), maybe use the 7700K.

yeah sure i was bullied at school

just saying you got much better things to do with money than to buy super expensive computer part, especially when the one you got can already run your game very well (even in 4k)
