Absolutely. Vega 64 is going for €800/900 here, it's crazy. I will probably keep gaming on my secondary 1080p screen while I save up or wait for prices to come down.

For the time being I'm content. The screen is massive coming from a 24" 1080p screen. 144hz is super sexy too. It's definitely an investment and I can't see myself changing screens for years to come.

I got a raise today, so yay!

Vacations are nice. Spending a week away can clear your mind like nothing else can. Makes you think about things. I want to travel more and switch jobs as my current one is boring me. Switching jobs will give me more €€€ for traveling too, so that's another plus.

I built an alter fire of impressive dimensions, then spent the night beside it.

Awesome stuff, awesome stuff.

My new monitor arrived, 1440p and 144hz, and when I get a new GPU it will work with GSync or FreeSync.

I doubt your monitor has both. AFAIK nVidia finally decided to support Freesync, but that does not mean that monitors have both. They're using Gsync as a way to classify Freesync monitors that they're up to their standards. Which means that Freesync will get a Gsync-ready sticker, but it still does not have actual Gsync (the actual hardware module that makes Gsync screens more expensive).

I know, it's a FreeSync monitor. The point is that it will work any GPU.

What's your set-up atm?

I just got promoted so I can work more.

Does it come with extra $$$?

GTX 970, though I'll upgrade it to something that support FreeSync soon (the Nvidia update doesn't include 9 series cards).
