That thing will be a beast... I am a bit jealous.

 

The only thing I would say is that I've had a friend go through 3 of the Acer Predators and had bad luck with all. None of them had any dead/stuck pixels but all of them had a LOT of motion blur when trying to run high refresh rates. Acer didn't give him much support so he had to sell the last one on Ebay and went back to a 144hz Asus that works like a charm. If you get one I am hoping it works out for you, they are just so pricey to not work appropriately at higher speeds. You will have a nicer CPU but he has the same amount of RAM and also a Gigabyte GTX 980Ti.

I love my 144hz Asus

You sir, have a lot of disposable income. And I'm jealous of it. And you suck. Good day.

Swap the 980 for 1070 or 1080 when they come out.
