Hi friends,

I just bought this spec. I wanted to get your thoughts on it and whether it's powerful enough to run games in 240hz refresh rate on the Odyssey G9 QLED Dual-QHD 32:9 Gaming Monitor - https://www.samsung.com/uk/monitors...-1000r-curved-display-49-inch-lc49g95tssuxen/ ?

ALSO, is it a badass setup generally?? Thanks for your responses!!

Firstly, congratulations on choosing the G9, it truly is a phenomenal monitor and the 3080 is the right card to push frame rates on it.

However, I feel you’ve dropped the ball by going for an Intel build. Check out the thread below for a long list of reasons why AMD are the wise choice these days...

AMD Vs Intel

So some of you aren't aware of the reasons why so many people are heading away from Intel to AMD, so thought it would be important to lay that out for people to refer back to. A lot of you will go to cpubenchmark or userbenchmark to find performance metrics for CPU's. These sites are complete...

I (and pretty much everyone else here) would strongly recommend you cancel that order ASAP and come back for some advice 👍

As @AgentCooper says, Intel are now the weak underling with no sign of gaining traction for years to come. They're about 6 years behind the times now in basic architecture, just really poor CPU's in general.

An equivalent priced AMD chip will get you around 20% more in single threaded, and often 50% more in multithreaded, there's just absolutely no competition.

Just a further kudos on choosing the G9, it's quite simply, hands down the ultimate gaming / productivity monitor in existence imho, nothing comes close as yet, although I sincerely hope we'll be seeing more competitor products emerging at CES in January.

Hopefully the success of it has been for all to see.... it's just a thing of utter beauty!

Definitely not badass.

bit like buying what you think is an M3 and finding out it’s a 320i with body kit.

Also if reordering go with for some more watts on your PSU is a good idea.

Thank you for the spec!! May I ask, what's the purpose of having 2x M.2 SSD drives? Do they complement each other somehow or is the faster one meant to be where the OS is stored on? I can't see the option to assisn the OS to either M.2 when proceeding with the order.

One for OS, other makes for rapid game loads.
