Which sub-200eur mainboard for my 8700k?

Do you guys suggest overlocking for someone who is building his PC for the first time?

May as well mate, just don't mess with voltages and you won't destroy anything

Just got a new PC with a 1080ti so now I need a monitor, what are some of the most common refresh rates between 60hz and 144hz? I want a monitor in 1440p to take advantage of the 1080ti but anything thats 144hz starts at like $300. I don't want something thats only 60hz, seems like a waste at that point to have the 1080ti.

kys faggot

>2060 is standard for 1440p

75 and 120 though neither are really common right now. 75 tends to be cheapshit 60hz with a factory overclock.

Thanks. Whats the cheapest non-garbage 1440p 120 or 144hz monitor?
