  1. a clean install (including format of HD) of the latest win10 from a usb stick and then it's a case of following prompts on various tweak sites to remove all the built in crap you don't need.  Particularly removing not needed startup items and services.  Cortana can easily be fully removed these days and frees up about 60MB+ RAM all by itself - for example.  Have a look at winaero tweaker and for those who aren't afraid to operate in a command prompt, research install_wim_tweak (advanced users only).

  2. @rocketman I have an i7-8700K. 

    I tried using gsync but it simply doesn't work with Combat Mission, as per comments above it tends to strobe and just be annoying with no difference to perceived smoothness in the game display.  Judicious settings in Nvidia inspector will improve stability of frame rate, particularly use of the frame rate limiter (eg set it to 40 or less) and setting your display to the highest fixed rate refresh that it supports.

  3. Hey rocketman

    I recently upgraded to a 2560x1440 Viewsonic xg2703-gs  27" monitor running at 165 Hz.  Best thing I ever did! It's an IPS monitor type so the image quality is much nicer than the old TN's.  A real step up from my 24" 1920x1080.  

    I don't use the gsync feature for CM as it doesn't work with games on lower frame rates but haven't noticed any great slowdowns in frame rates since upgrading.  Running a 1080 GPU but if you're running a 970 I would think you'd be fine.  

    cheers
