Again thanks it is built and he got it this wknd, loves it. In searching the net it is similar to a Skytech prism 2 - not quite as much RGB stuff. My neighbors son is moving over seas and was selling some of his gaming gear so we got a lightly used LG Ultra Clear 32GP83B-B for $150 so he is ...

Definitely not competitively but he does play pretty often and his “clan” as he calls it are pretty good at least from what I can gather doing my research - want something capable now but also something he can upgrade down the line. You mentioned ...

Told my son I would upgrade his gaming computer if he got grades, little bastard made Junior National Honor Society.
