If you’ve built you’re own custom PC gaming rig, you probably put a lot of thought into the the different parts. Balancing your budget against finding a great CPU and graphics card, a power supply that can support them, an SSD with enough storage to hold the games you download—those prices add up.

It made going back to my old display feel like my in-game player characters were walking through mud.
