Hi thanks for the recommendation! If getting the h97 mobo would u recommend a k processor for OC? But if so will I need to get a AIO watercooling?

How come monitor no warranty

 

[jonathanljk]

Does the performance difference justify the extra $150 and loss of the 5 year warranty? @@

Also, can I know the difference between the 2 mobo recommended?

Not sure too. Maybe they forgot to input warranty info?

These are 144 Hz refresh rate monitors that are ideal for high-end gaming with fluid smooth movements. Mainstream monitors only offer 60 Hz standard refresh rate.

H97 Gaming 3 only offers a M.2 slot (mainly for SSD) and slightly better Realtek audio (which doesn't makes any difference compared to discrete audio solutions).

Going down today to sls and looking to buy from tradepac. Anything I should look out for (eg. do I Nid to open up every box to check?) pay by cash can negotiate for some discount?
