I'm ever so slightly in love with that monitor - managed to get myself one in September.
I actually saved on the monitor by getting a xiaomi mi monitor, 34in, 3440x1440, 144hz, no gsync, but it is still damn good for its price, good colours, no ghosting or other issues, bezels are super small too, minimalistic design. Will hopefully finally get to use it fully soon!
The 5900X can run upto 90-odd degrees C which will keep you nice and warm, so that might help replace the wife on cold nights!
I like the 5900x but I'm not sure anyone likes it that much.

I've heard exceptional things about that monitor, good choice!
It does have freesync as well so has full refresh synchronisation.
I'm not entirely sure if this is still relevant with Freesync 2, but if you have problems enabling freesync on an nvidia card, there's a guide here:

Ooooo this is tempting. No longer needing to go to town on 4K 144hz now I have the 3070.

I'm awaiting my build and will be trying out the HP Omen X27 if you fancy 1440p 240hz, sometimes you can find good deals on these monitors
Hi all, Sorry to interrupt the monitor discussion but I thought I would give some information about my build, it might be of interest to someone moving forward.
I have been waiting since 2:22 PM on Septemberfor 17th for my Sons PC build that I got him for Christmas. We have been waiting for the Asus Stix 3080 and yesterday we got an email to say it was entering building stage, I was shocked not only because I thought I would be waiting at least to the end of the month but also because the PC case we picked has been out of stock for the past week so PCS either have just taken new stock and not updated their site yet, or some items do get put away for upcoming builds (I have no idea).
The PC had been in "build" for not even 1 day and we have already received another email saying the PC has been built, checked and tested and is now ready to be dispatched this coming Monday. I honestly thought that part of the process would take another couple of weeks to be honest.
It has been a tough wait, but boy is it a great feeling when it all happens. Makes it all worth it.
I hope everyone is getting luck with their builds as well.
As you were gentlemen.

Building a PC is only a couple of hours work, and testing, QA and preparing for dispatch are pretty quick too. Dispatched on Monday and delivery probably Tuesday or Wednesday. Your son will be made up with it once he gets it I'm sure!
Well as long as you aren't me. In Build 13th October.Once you get into the build stage it'll normally rattle through the stages
Really? What's wrong with it? Did it fail?
Waiting on the 3080 I have been told. Not sure what has actually been built yet, I did ask on Tuesday but haven't got a reply yet. It's a liquid series so perhaps they did some work on it ready for the 3080 but not sure what, that's why I've asked the question
Congrats on your build mate, I'm sure your son will have a fantastic xmas
Seems a bit unusual though on PCS' part as I put my order through on 10/09/20 for the same card (was originally 'awaiting gpu launch' and changed on the release date) but yet I've seen a couple of other people get their orders before me. Hard to understand how they are prioritising builds atm. Guess I'll be ringing them next week.

What time did you change it on release day? The fact you ordered it previously doesn't affect what position you are in the 3080 queue.Congrats on your build mate, I'm sure your son will have a fantastic xmas

I can't remember the exact time I changed it, though it was after a discussion with the customer service team who assured me it didn't matter as the order date would take precedent. Whilst I completley understand the current situation, some of the information I've had from the team has been inconsistent at best, so you could likley be right with the timings.
Yes, considering it costs 2-3 times less than other similar spec monitors, it's a damn steal! I've been using it since late spring connected to my laptop, so I can't really use the full 144hz because it only runs on a 4GB 1050Ti, but I'll bookmark that guide and maybe try it with the new rig!I've heard exceptional things about that monitor, good choice!

Yes into went into building on the 13th October, even says the persons name who worked on it. I asked about it and they just said it was because of the 3080 being out of stock and no idea when my build will be completed.
I'm not actually in a massive rush for it and asked if swapping to the new AMD cards on the 18th may speed up the build but they said no idea basically.
After that I asked what had actually had been built (like you say, seems strange it went into build all that time ago) what parts are currently out of stock maybe on my build so I can make plans nearer the the 18th about maybe swapping to the AMD cards.
But no reply yet from Tuesday. Probably have to ring if no reply soon
