NVMe don't actually improve boot times much. Around 5% at most compared to a fast SSD. Only thing they really improve is large file transfer (like moving around and loading a lot of videos for video editing).
So no. Just get Mushkin Source, SU900, MX500, WD Blue, or any fast reliable SSD like those.
Personal preference. Bad for content creators because lines aren't straight, but for everyone else it's just up to you.
sucks but yeah they're not going to exchange after half a year, I dont' think..
>recommending the $70 5400 for gaming when a 2200G is only $25 more. die, shill, die.
Your dumb shilling and cherry picking is out of control.

He's had shit like that pointed out for him in every thread he's made for weeks but he keeps reposting the same proven-bullshit crap over and over.
He's just a dumb shithead spammer. He's clearly paid to do this since everyone hates him yet he spams this shit anyway.

Good monitor to replace a recently bought vg248qe? I have an i5 4690k which I will replace soon and an rx 480 that I will maybe(?) replace. Asked in the previous thread but just got told to buy the freesync version. Basically I am asking what some good 144hz freesync monitors are. Thank you in advance.
