Chase Bank in Banking, Insurance & Loans ·
Hello there,

I was wondering if someone could walk me through the best way to handle my finances regarding PayPal? Specifically, I'm curious about what kind of bank account I should be using to receive funds—and does PayPal automatically convert those incoming payments into US dollars right away? Furthermore, I’d love to know the most efficient way to transfer that money over to my Chase checking account, ideally without getting hit by unnecessary fees. On the flip side, I'm also looking into how the reverse works; if I want to pick up something on eBay or a similar site, would it be better to move funds from my Chase checking into a specific type of account first? Any insights you could share would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

In that case, mine is an IPS :P

This is the one I’m using: LG Flatron

Could you please stop speaking in riddles? 😁 What exactly does that mean?

Thanks to everyone else for the suggestions.

Larry Ortiz5 said:So, what kind of budget are we looking at here? Maybe you could eventually grab an SSD and a monitor too. Honestly, prices are pretty steep right now—especially when you're hunting for a GTX 970.

My budget is roughly $600 plus whatever I can scrape together from selling some old gear. As for the monitor, I’m really hoping to go big so I can truly immerse myself in a game—I’d love something 27 inches or even larger. Plus, I've been thinking about picking up one of those wall mounts so I can adjust the angle exactly how I want it. There's just something about gaming from a comfortable recliner, isn't there? 🙂

Is the price a bit steep? 😲 My PC has been running for about two years now and it’s been serving me incredibly well, though I did run into one annoying issue: my C drive is only 60GB, so it feels like it's constantly hitting capacity. Looking back, I really should have opted for a larger SSD from the start. As for upgrading the graphics card, I think I might hold off on that for a moment and focus on getting a better monitor instead... I'm still weighing my options, honestly.

On another note, does anyone have an idea of what I could get for this setup if I decided to sell it? Would it make sense to add the cost of a new graphics card to the sale price and just trade it all in for something newer and more powerful as a complete bundle? Thanks!

What are your thoughts on me picking up another NVIDIA GTX 7850? I actually found one at a pretty great price... Or, do you think it would be wiser to just scrap my current setup and go for a complete overhaul instead?

So, here is the situation: I am trying to decide whether I should focus on upgrading my PC or if I can just go ahead and grab a new monitor.

I am looking at getting something in the 27-inch range or maybe even larger, since my current 24-inch screen is starting to feel a little cramped, you know?

My current setup is as follows:

Thermaltake SMART 630W Power Supply Unit
ASRock P67 PRO3
i5 3350p 3.1 GHz (4CPU)
2x4 GB RAM 1600 MHz
NVIDIA GTX 7850 1GB 256bit
Kingston 60GB SSD
1 TB WD hard drive

What are your thoughts? Should I feel confident enough with my current PC to just pull the trigger on a new monitor?
