What did I Buy?

So a few months ago now I withdrew my SteemDollars and steem to buy computer parts Resulting in me getting a i7 7700k Processer. [See below]

Now after many many months of holding the rest of my "spare change" I've finally bought a new Gaming Montitor.

The Acer Predator XB271HUA - 27" LED Monitor - WQHD

Assembly

Assembly is pretty much straight forward, you get the back arm and slot it in the stand and twist it until it locks, the you flip it upside down and tighten the screw, its that simple.

The monitor just clips onto the stand and is very sturdy so no need to have small, flimsy screws to worry about its just click on and GO!

So far I can see a HUGE difference in 144hz and the resolution! I 100% recommend this monitor for any gamer.
Going from a 60 Hz monitor to a 144 Hz one is, in my opinion, the biggest, most drastic upgrade to the overall gaming experience one can currently make. There's no going back to gaming at standard refresh rates once you get a taste of the buttery smoothness of your crosshair, as well as the action itself.
