Perhaps consider Meshify C instead.

I own a unit myself and it is perfect. It can even fit two slim radiators if you're into custom watercooling.
Depends on what your goals(how responsive you are to input lag, do you want a giant screen and so on) and budget is. The new LG OLED is gonna be insane, but it's also gonna be like over 3k dollars probably.
I wonder if they will release it in China again. Before that whole shitshow the game was one of the most played games on Douyu (chinese twitch).
(Guess not lol)
is it really that noticeable? i kinda got used to my 32" TV from gaming too much on consoles
also, what budget Monitor do you recommend
Thanks. I'm not too fussed about watercooling, it just so happens that the Corsair One has it. This case you've linked still looks a bit too big.Perhaps consider Meshify C instead.

The game was pulled out of China yesteday, before they took it down from the rest of the world (for "extra QA" today),
Ah, perhaps you prefer something much smaller, perhaps in the size of Ncase M1. Here's a size comparison.

Not to suggest that's incorrect, but GOG isn't anywhere near as popular as you might infer from its standing among enthusiast circles. CD Projekt's total net revenue -- that's retail, consoles, GOG, Steam, and whatever else brings in money for the company -- for 2017 was "only" ~$89m, a drop of about 30% compared to the previous year. To put that figure in perspective, it represents approximately 2% of what Steam is estimated to have generated for Valve in the same year with paid game sales alone.
It's crazy that GoG is that small. DRM free is the best reason to not use Steam. If GoG can't pull an audience, what chance do any of these other stores have?
Of course, I am guilty of it, too. At a certain point, I just kind of stopped buying stuff on GoG. I got burned by a late / no patch and that was it. I still appreciate the work they do and it would be sad to see them go.

I am not talking about revenue but more about popularity and actual store usage. If Steam is first in what order you would put other stores?
Oh, I know, but revenue is the only data we can compare, plus it is intertwined with user engagement.
I'd guess the top three are:
Excluding services that are/lean publisher-specific: Steam > GOG > Humble or Itch.
Including them: Steam > Battle.net > Origin*
* I'd put Uplay ahead of Origin if we were to include the Steam versions of Uplay games.

Ideally this picture would have some other object to give a sense of the scale if you don't know the cases. Something like a soda can. Anyway, I have the Ncase M1 and it's incredibly pleasant. It's also surprisingly roomy so long as you are a bit careful with your wiring.
Wow, so I guess that means Anthem is the best, most suited-for PC port of all time.
Yeah, yeah, tired old joke. But god does this man have some shit takes.
If GOG would support regional pricing I'd buy from them more, but as it stands they are far more expensive than Steam for me.
Reading the Kotaku article, it mentions that Gwent unperformed financially due to GOG's limited reach, which was obviously why they put Thronebreaker on Steam after saying it would be GOG exclusive. Why not put Gwent on Steam?
Granted I haven't played since Homecoming / Thronebreaker completely redesigned the game, but the community seems to think it's good, so put it on Steam and see the money potentially.

The worst part about this take is that the flying feels great with a M + KB and is literally the best part of the game.

I can only recommend it. Meshify C is great and the cable management is a dream.
Phanteks makes really nice and sleek cases. Have a look. They are also Dutch so am required by law to rep them.
I only ever buy from GOG when I want an indie game that I don't want tied to a launcher and something I can just fire up when ever I need to. There used to be a time when Steam would be a buggy pos for me and refuse to connect me to my account and I would be left playing w/e was lying around on my PC.
Of course it was much later on that I realized actually for some games you can just run it from the exe if the game does not need Steam to run but even still if a game does not have many online connectivity features then I would consider the GOG version. With GOG galaxy it makes patching a game easier as well compared to the old days where you had to go to the site directly to download a new patch.

wait, hasn't it been cracked for days?
nice to see legit customers get screwed again
GOG actually does support some sort of regional pricing, their coverage is more limited than Steam's due to lack of scale, however (maybe devs have to ask while Steam sets some default adjustments). Same with additional payment methods.
I was never particularly interested in Gwent, but it seems store/client loyalty is way less of a thing with F2P stuff, or at least everyone seems to be operating under this assumption. Would make sense too - unless client is super buggy, checking it out doesn't cost you.
I think GOG are great, and while their Linux support could be a lot better I still buy from them a fair bit and wish them the best. I hope they do okay and the store is not in trouble.
weird post... do you want companies to start releasing games ahead of time in response to pirated versions?
RER are both solid. RE6... I kinda liked what I played of it, but it's not to everyone's taste. Contextual melee is cool.
Well, deluxe edition launched as early access a few days ago and there is also a cracked version knocking around which is offline modes only. The deluxe version has had awful online connectivity issues all weekend and that is tied into to its single player mode. So yes paid customers got fucked, but by Codemasters first. Pirates are just sloppy seconds.
No, they could just stop these staggered releases for more money
Crazy I know
oh it's one of dem staggered releases? My bad.
But for a Dirt game? Like really? >_>
Yeah, special editions got earlier access, assuming that was what got cracked
I mean, I say "for a Dirt game" but fucking Mutant Year Zero had a staggered released soooooooooooo...yeah.
ugh I hate how single player games have multiplayer achievments. Just today I was looking and half of Tomb Raider and Red Faction Guerrilla achievements are multiplayer. Who is playing multiplayer on those games?
Neither are all that great but if I had to pick then I would go with the Revelations games. At least they are a much more solid albeit weaker games than RE6 which fluctuates between a being a total mess to an ersatz versions of an RE game.
If a game has multiplayer it's probably going to have achievements for it, regardless of whether it's any good. You don't have to get all the achievements if it means doing something you don't want to.
GOG is the only competitor to Steam I find attractive. I do think the story might be overstating the layoffs though, given the above statement.
if you could stretch just a little bit more the AOC G2460PF is 144Hz 1080p 24in and is what I have and is quite nice . it's normally $199 but there is a $15 coupon on Amazon right now . There is also a 75Hz one that is $150 so it fits right in your budget .
I know, I wont get them and I am sure most people dont get them so they shouldnt even exist!
I hope all this MS news, between the game pass on switch (one assumes on switch means "everywhere" means on PC) and the "play XBOX games natively on PC" shit, pans out, cause Game Pass on console is THE SHIT. It's not secret im a fan of humble monthly, value wise, but fuck me game pass really threw me for a loop (it helps that i'm pretty much one and done with games, especially these days), and I wish my homies that happen to just have PCs could enjoy dat shit (assuming it worked fine of course lol).
Game pass is great (so far on PC) playing Forza Horizon 4 right now! Obviously we need more games but the concept and ease to install and play is really promising.
Just me assuming that would work alongside xbox app or something
Just pulled the trigger and purchased an RTX 2060!
I was going to get either the MSI Gaming Z or the EVGA XC Ultra, and ended up getting the EVGA model since it was available.

Slightly cheaper than the ASUS Strix model but just as good from some of the articles I've read. (in relation to manual overclocking potential)
