So, today i received this awesome pc:
Case
InWIN MANA-136 BLACK GAMING CASE
Processor (CPU)
AMD FX-8350 Eight Core CPU (4.00GHz/8MB CACHE/AM3+)
Motherboard
ASUS® M5A97 (DDR3, USB3.0, 6Gb/s)
Memory (RAM)
8GB KINGSTON HYPERX BEAST DUAL-DDR3 2400MHz X.M.P (2 x 4GB KIT)
Graphics Card
2GB NVIDIA GEFORCE GTX 770 - 2 DVI, HDMI, DP - 3D Vision Ready
Memory - 1st Hard Disk
1TB WD CAVIAR BLACK WD1002FAEX, SATA 6 Gb/s, 64MB CACHE (7200rpm)
1st DVD/BLU-RAY Drive
4x BLU-RAY ROM DRIVE, 16x DVD ROM
Power Supply
CORSAIR 650W ENTHUSIAST SERIES™ TX650 V2-80 PLUS® BRONZE (£79)
Processor Cooling
Corsair H60 Hydro Series High Performance CPU Cooler (£39)
Extra Case Fans
2 x 12CM Black Case Fan (configured to extract from rear/roof) (£9)
Sound Card
ONBOARD 8 CHANNEL (7.1) HIGH DEF AUDIO (AS STANDARD)
Network Facilities
WIRELESS 802.11N 300Mbps PCI-E CARD (£16)
Keyboard & Mouse
Microsoft SideWinder X4 Gaming Keyboard
Mouse
CM Storm Xornet Gaming Mouse (£19)
And first thing i noticed was on startup it made a unsettling clicking noise, as if it was screaming...
So i tested the fans and whenever they got to 50% duty it would start clicking again
I instantly turned it off and opened it up and found a stray wire inside the GPU bending outwards into the fan (My guess is that it got knocked during transit, no? ok! sshhh)
Anyhow, after dislodging it i restarted the computer and the fans were fine.
This being my first proper PC i had no idea that a HDMI cable would make it blurry (If your tv is dumb)
so unless my Tv magically decides to let me disable the "enhancements" i am going to buy a new monitor from PCS
So thats where you guys come in!, I have no idea what monitor to get.
Budget: Around £100 - £150 (Yeah after this pc im broke)
It must have a HDMI slot and i would like it to be somewhat large 22"-24"ish?
i had my eye on the:
24" IIYAMA E2481HS-1 Widescreen (£145)
Opinions?
