I'm running a 120hz Asus 27" IPS monitor. Wanna say I paid around 280 for it.

I believe this is it. May only be a 60hz monitor though. I cant remember I bought it like 2 years ago when the tigerdirect near me closed shop.

 

[bootyluvr]

It's 60hz.

 

[Flightmaster127]

Works well enough for me.

That's all that matters. It does the job for you.

My hard drive that is dedicated to games is slowly getting full. Only 200GB left. Any recommendations on what to get?

Size? Price?

I don't have too many games but I use a SanDisk 960GB SSD for my games. I bought it a few months ago when it was on-sale for around $200.

I have Sandisk for Windows OS and HDD for games. Not sure what size to get they all seem expensive.

Are you going the HDD route again for your games? I can't go back to an HDD after using SSD's.

 

[Michal006]

Probably SSD it improves loading time no?

Oh yes it improves it drastically! Well worth the extra cost factor.

 

[Michal006]

I can imagine. I have OS installed on SSD and my computer starts up very quickly.

 

[bootyluvr]

What size is your current HDD?

 

[Michal006]

What size is your current HDD?

1TB

 

[webby]

are you going to keep that drive and add another drive in the mix, or buy a larger drive & move your 1tb of files onto a larger drive?

 

[Michal006]

I plan on adding another to the mix yes.

 

[bootyluvr]

What size new drive you looking to get? Also didn't see a price you want to spend.

 

[webby]

No idea how big you want to go on the next drive.

WD 2tb black drive?
