Age and PC specs
Hi Guys, I've been playing Apex Legends for a couple of months now, and first of all congrats for such a cool and addictive game! I will be the first to admit that I'm a lousy player. I'm 50 years ...

The best best 1080p gpu to buy will be the new navi10 card from amd that comes out in june.
High end cards are for 4k gaming.
I have a vega56 strixx on my 1440p 144hz 32inch adaptive sync samsung monitor i have it over clocked and under volted to 1700mhz and 935mhz on the memory i also put a m22 kraken aio on my gpu and it sits at a cool 55c under full load if i was you i would buy a vega 56 second hand for around £150-200 and put a aio on it as the cooler the temps are the clocks stay boosted, much cheaper and better performance than a vega64 on stock cooler.
The first question anyone should be asking you is, what Games do you want to play now besides Apex and in the future?
You don't always need to have the latest generation in hardware if you are playing games that are not going to utilize it, all you will be doing is throwing away money.
For starters I had that BenQ monitor, along with two other BenQ ZOWIE brands and I returned all of them, contrast, brightness, saturation, colors, not to mention the quality of the TN panels was worse then other TN panels I used in the past.
There are certainly a lot of choices out there that can make it difficult, so when you are uncertain and don't want to waste money, try the lower priced hardware, if it meets the needs of the game requirements.
I highly recommend getting your hands on an MSI Optix G24C!
One the positive side, this uses a VA panel, is 144HZ with a 1ms response time! The color, contrast, saturation, viewing angles, are all like a high quality IPS panel, it's amazing!
The negative side is since the panel is curved it might feel strange to your eyes until they get adjusted, it took me around 2-4 weeks for the curved feeling to go away. Like most I never bought into the Curved Monitor scene when they came out, but in my hunt for a nice gaming monitor, and all the others I tried led me to this one, that was in a local store and I thought why not.
I have played on high-end gaming monitors that cost as much as $500, that were Nvidia G-Sync, to tell you that this MSI Optix G24C has been just as nice, and a lot better than the Benq ZOWIE.
The MSI Optix G24C is also very inexpensive for a 144HZ 1ms monitor too, it's fast and smooth, even with Vsync off there is no screen tear, it's like an Nvidia G-Sync monitor. It does support Freesync if you go with AMD later on...
This is also the perfect size for FPS games; 24 inch 1080P, for FPS you don't want or need anything bigger or higher resolution, it serves no purpose.
I absolutely love my MSI Optix G24C!

So as I was asking before, tell everyone what games you plan on playing, to better give you options for hardware choices!
- Thanks SG_Armastama,
I will reply to you more in detail soon. I realize that the XL2546 will be lousy for most things other than 1080p gaming. I can still use my old U2410 monitors for most non-gaming stuff, if I need better image quality.
I quickly checked the MSI Optix G24C prices here and they are very cheap. I might miss never going the extra mile though and having that 240hz option if I can benefit from it in games.
Have you ever played at 60hz and then noticed the difference of going higher?
Honestly, at my age or schedule or lifestyle, I don't game so much. I used to be into Battlefield Bad Company 2 and BF4 in a big way and played those games no problem at all - regardless of age.
I originally come from Delta Force Land Warrior game days and those type of games along with BF are slower paced games in my opinion, and when in the right mood, you can easily sit back and snipe if you can't handle the pace up close.
I appreciate your reply. I love all of this stuff. I usually rebuild a new PC every 5 or 6 years, so I try to take that into account when shopping for parts. I'll probably reply more fairly soon. Cheers.
