What is the recommendation for monitors these days? I know TP4 will have opinions on this.
I'm thinking of a 1440p OLED, but there's only one or two models that are 24". Everything else is 27". I'm not sure how much refresh rate matters above 144hz (what I currently have).
Also, I'm not sure if ultrawide would be a good idea. I currently have a triple monitor (all 16:9) setup on monitors arms, but I never use all three monitors for games (I tried it once out of curiosity, but the setup was annoying, and everything looked really bad because it was so stretched with peripheral things appearing too close).

Well, Project Lifesupport is a full go. I officially have all the upgrades on the way, except for a main HD replacement.
Sabertooth z77/ 850W PSU/ a KILLER Noctua cpu cooler/ some case fan upgrades
Gonna do a full disassemble and deep clean including fans, replace some case cables, delid/move to new home/repaste the cpu, replace existing PSU that powers off when the cord jiggles
This rig just needs to last 1 more year or so
