    The CPU has a 4.0GHz overclock and the GPU has a +90MHz in MSI Afterburner which achieves 2063MHz in games

    I can handle beamng with a good 8-10 vehicles and it plays at a respectable 80-110 fps with some dips to 60-70 and I can get 144fps in gridmap. I play some Overwatch which gets 80-100fps and GTA 5 which gets 100-150 fps
    These benchmarks are at 1440p so 1080p would have nearly double fps

    Pics will come later. I wrote this post at work on my phone.

    1080? Where'd you get the money from?

    No reason for me to ask, just curious.

    He's a drug dealer!

    That is a nice PC, what work do you do that requires such a computer?

    I write music and do some coding and webapp development.

    As for how I got the money, I have been working at a big company since I was 19 (3 years ago) making decent money so I decided to treat myself. Normally I save all my money because I want to pay for school (25k USD per year) and have savings to get a nice car and start a mortgage for a house. The 1080 and Acer predator are new additions. I used to game with a 970 and 1080p monitor.
