This is what I used - order it from Amazon.

Seems like a pretty awful price for a 35" 100hz VA UWQHD panel, unless there's something I'm missing.
For comparison, the Viotek GN34CB 34" 100hz VA UWQHD monitor sells for $399.99 new.
Also, the comparable MSI 34" 100hz VA monitor is selling for $439 new right now as well.
Basically the only benefit to this monitor is "HDR", but it only has a peak brightness of 300 nits which is pretty subpar as far as HDR goes.
Dell monitors are great, their Ultrasharp IPS range is nice just avoid their new 4k ones as they're pretty bad.
There's this one which is slightly over at $615 but it has 2560 x 1440 resolution.
http://www.amazon.com/Dell-U2713HM-IPS-LED-CVN85-27-Inch-LED-lit/dp/B009H0XQQY/
Or with a 1920 x 1080 resolution theres this one for half the price:
http://www.amazon.com/Dell-927M9-IPS-LED-27-Inch-LED-lit-Monitor/dp/B009H0XQPA/
Sure thing, here you go.
Monitor - Dell S2740L : http://www.amazon.com/Dell-927M9-IPS-LED-27-Inch-LED-lit-Monitor/dp/B009H0XQPA/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1397420342&sr=8-1&keywords=dell+monitor+27
Monitor Mount - Ergotron LX: http://www.amazon.com/Ergotron-Desk-Mount-Tall-45-295-026/dp/B00689HXI4/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1397420310&sr=8-3&keywords=ergotron
Edit: Typo
Go for a XFX, MSI, or Sapphire rx 480 8GB
like this - 239 Euro
http://www.mindfactory.de/product_info.php/8GB-MSI-Radeon-RX-480-Gaming-X-Aktiv-PCIe-3-0-x16--Retail-_1115515.html
the gigabyte card isn't very good.
Look for a better make case (Zalam re terrible) - see corsair
i.e this is an m-atx case
http://www.mindfactory.de/product_info.php/Corsair-Carbide-Series-88R-mit-Sichtfenster-Mini-Tower-ohne-Netzteil-sch_1014923.html
I would Aslo get a SSD Or A M.2 SSD or 120GB or 250GB as you OS Drive or you machine won't be as fast as you'll want it to be. HDD Are okay but thats really for data.
The motherboard you listed could be improved and save money i.e. this m-atx size baord is 91 euro
http://www.mindfactory.de/product_info.php/MSI-B250M-MORTAR-Intel-B250-So-1151-Dual-Channel-DDR-mATX-Retail_1136535.html
Your cpu is an i5 but is rated a 3ghz - is that high enough - see if you can find reviews on it and its performance.
One last important point if you getting a monitor, and you are getting a rx480, then buy a freesync monitor. the cheapest 24" one I can find in amazon de is this 159 euro
https://www.amazon.de/AOC-G2460VQ6-Monitor-DisplayPort-Reaktionszeit/dp/B015510R4M/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1486471603&sr=8-1&keywords=freesync+24%22
Now think how much have you saved in getting a freesync monitor instead of a g-sync monitor!
If you can afford it get 16GB ram or at least a 1 * 8gb stick and then you can get another later!
Quite a few in this price range, probably can't go wrong with any of them. You'll be ecstatic about any of them compared to what you're using.
AOC C24G1 Curved 24" $144.99
Sceptre 24" Curved $149.99
Sceptre E255B-1658A 24.5" 165Hz $149 with coupon
Acer 27" 144hz (Renewed) $139.99
Sceptre 27" Curved $157.99 with coupon
LG Ultragear 24GL600F-B 24" $134.95
Viotek 109013NH GFV24C 24" $139.99
Pixio PXC243 24" ($159.99 - $25) = $134.99
For $212 or $192 after rebate the Asus PB238Q is the same panel but comes with many bells and whistles.
I've owned 2 that I absolutely love, but have been phasing them out with the 1920x1200 model, the PA248Q over the last few years.
also on sale at Amazon.
Although be warned that it states: Usually ships within 1 to 2 months.
I would recommend IPS monitors since viewing angle will be better.
Dell 27" 1080p ($255 each)
http://www.amazon.com/Dell-927M9-IPS-LED-27-Inch-LED-lit-Monitor/dp/B009H0XQPA/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1410002420&sr=8-1&keywords=dell+ips+27%22
(Not the thinnest bezel, but it is ok)
I have 3 Dell U2713HM (1440p) and love them. They are 2x as expensive, but much higher resolution.

Here's the review of the case I released a couple of days ago
what is your gpu?
If it is amd, then get THIS (27", 3ms response time, va) or THIS (24", 1ms response time, tn) I would go for the 1st since size and display type are more important than response time, for low base response times. Both have free-sync
If you have nvidia......Too bad :(
Is 1080p okay?
I have this LG 24GM79G-B 24-Inch Gaming Monitor... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B06XFGTGC4?ref=yo_pop_ma_swf
144hz refresh and freesync also I believe it's on sale right now.
You didn't mention a resolution or budget. I'm going to assume you're looking for a 1080p screen.
This here is a really good monitor: https://www.amazon.in/LG-24GM79G-B-Reduction-FreeSyncTM-Stabilizer/dp/B06XFGTGC4
It is a TN though, so color accuracy and viewing angles aren't great. But it is still a great panel.
Here's another TN panel: https://www.primeabgb.com/online-price-reviews-india/viewsonic-24-xg2402-gaming-tn-monitor/
Supposedly better color accuracy for a lower contrast ratio.
A VA panel: https://www.amazon.in/Samsung-23-5-Curved-Gaming-Monitor/dp/B01M1DEEYP
This has better color accuracy, but CFG70 is believed to have a purple ghosting issue, which is supposedly fixed in CFG73. Although, I haven't seen this model in any of the Indian e-commerce sites.
Also, this has a small curve so might not be something you want.
This could also be another option, the design might be better: https://www.vedantcomputers.com/lenovo-legion-y25f-10-24.5-inch-fhd-5ms-response-time
A few people have reported frame skipping issue with this model. So might want to look into that.
I´m personally a big fan of VA panels. yeah they´re not as accurate a lot of the time. but unless you´re doing colour-sensitive work. you´re not gonna care once you see that sweet sweet contrast ratio VA has to offer.
Here´s my picks
Lower end. but very good
Lower end. but still awesome
Factory calibrated hdr goodness
Would you take my monitor? I have an Asus pb238q i believe. Im not at home so i cant check. I want to sell it because i want to upgrade. Nothing is wrong with it at all. And hopefully shipping isn't expensive if you're in the states.its 1980x1020
And has really cool features and really color accurate. Here's the amazon link:
www.amazon.com/dp/B00906GBBC/ref=cm_sw_r_awd_BYlQub0EN4N3W
And here is the main page of their main site:
http://www.asus.com/Monitors_Projectors/PB238Q/
I'd have to say this. A tad over budget but I've got 2 and plan to get a third. Awesome monitor, great picture and size.
Any differences between these two?

My personal choice will be the LG + RX 480 / 490.
Edit: That LG's FreeSync range might be expandable to 32-80 hz (LFC sweetspot), source:

I'm basically in the same boat as you.
Closest I've found in my searches seems to be the HP Omen 32".
It has everything in your list except for G-Sync, decent price.
Unfortunately I can't seem to find any decent reviews... I'm waiting to see if anything else in the market comes along or the prices drop more.
Here's a cheap gaming monitor with 144hz https://www.amazon.com/Sceptre-Edge-Less-FreeSync-DisplayPort-C275B-144RN/dp/B07N6ZBCVY/ref=mp_s_a_1_12?adgrpid=81283298327&gclid=EAIaIQobChMIzeShmqCC5gIVS5yzCh1r6Q_DEAAYASAAEgIGO_D_BwE&hvadid=380138758041&hvdev=m&hvlocphy=9011836&hvnetw=g&hvpos=1t1&hvqmt=b&hvrand=1646773311074872536&hvtargid=kwd-803071165420&hydadcr=20076_9664061&keywords=1080p+1ms+144hz+gaming+monitor&qid=1574578053&refinements=p_85%3A2470955011&rnid=2470954011&rps=1&sr=8-12
MSI 27", the best for the money without overpaying for the brand, like Asus
Awesome VA Panel, Great Contrast, Great Colors, and Extremely Fast Response Time.
https://www.amazon.com/AOC-C27G1-Frameless-DisplayPort-Adjustable/dp/B07GD5XG5G/ref=mp_s_a_1_3?keywords=aoc%2Bc27g1&qid=1574807370&sprefix=Aoc%2Bc2&sr=8-3&th=1&psc=1
This one is about the best you can get and it's got better colors tan a tn panel
I agree with iampixeL3D, that you should preferably find a second monitor from Dell to make sure that colors, etc. are the same across all of your monitors.
Beyond looking for another Dell, I would recommend the Acer V277U. It's 1440p, 75hz. I just bought three of them and have them set up with two in landscape and one in portrait. I got them for $210 each on sale, but their not too much more right now (links below).

75hz but
https://www.amazon.com/Acer-V277U-FreeSync-Monitor-Speakers/dp/B07M9V8XNQ
Go to New and Used and there's one for $200, I picked it up a couple weeks ago. Great 2nd monitor and outside of when they had these at 2 for $350, gonna be hard finding much less.
AOC Agon AG273QCX is back in stock at $260 if you missed this one.
I am sorry to piggyback on this, but I'm looking for the same thing. what about this one? anyone have this??
AOC Agon AG273QCX.

Thank you in advance
After extensive research yesterday I found that this is the best 24"144hz monitor. LG Ultragear 24GL600F-B 24 Inch Full HD Gaming Monitor with Radeon FreeSync Technology, 144Hz Refresh Rate, 1ms Response Time (2019) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07NHSJ1RF/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_ETElDbHZ8JK57 it as everything anyone looking for this type of monitor would want plus it's been reviewed by Hardware Unboxed as working perfectly with G-sync and it has a crosshair overlay. I own the 240hz version 27" and ran into this when researching the AOC and Viewsonic and Dell monitor that went on sale yesterday.
My bet is on this one, bought it back in june and have no regrets (it was at $170 back then)
LG Ultragear 24GL600F-B 24 Inch Full HD Gaming Monitor with Radeon FreeSync Technology, 144Hz Refresh Rate, 1ms Response Time (2019) - Black https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07NHSJ1RF/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_URQ3Db97BGPRS
https://www.amazon.ca/dp/B07NHSJ1RF - $209.99 (Pre-tax)
(if you have an AMD GPU)getting rid of the cpu cooler(already suggested I know) and getting an ssd will be a great benefit if you can afford it later although good ssd's at 45 bucks are small so i'd stay with the hdd for now. for a monitor in that price range i'd recommend the Lg ultragear or the Viotek gn24cb
I always recommend the Asus VG248Q great little monitor with a 144hz variant
Sure, Asus
PB238Q at $200. IPS
Or you could get a 144Hz for $260 as another option.
Although;
US price on Amazon: $255.99.
UK Price on Amazon: £357.21 ($583!!)
That's quite a price hike just for a trans-Atlantic purchase - more than double the price. I'd snap it up at the US price, but at the UK price....
This is probably what you are looking for.
This--> Dell S2740l. http://www.amazon.com/Dell-927M9-IPS-LED-27-Inch-LED-lit-Monitor/dp/B009H0XQPA
Beautiful monitor and great price, I personally use this and I only one gripe with it no displayport. I bought mine factory refurbished for $180.
> A 27 inch Dell IPS monitor costs $600
I just bought 2 27" Dell IPS monitors for $300 a piece with free shipping.
Edit: Scratch that I see you were talking about the 2560 x 1440 display, which makes sense.
Price is way too high for a 20inch sub1080p monitor. LED adds a little value but not very much.
Example, this is 2 inches bigger with 1080p and LED and costs 5 bucks less shipped
Honestly, you're not gonna find a low lag monitor at that size. If you're really wanting the lowest amount of lag as possible, I'd recommend the BenQ RL2460HT. It's what I use myself and probably one of the best monitors you'll find for fighting games, and gaming in general. The built in speakers are kinda shitty on it though, so I'd get some external speakers for it as well, if you decide to get it.
Dude I love you for that meme, we say that at work all the time lol.

Yes, there is my friend! Both Pixio and Viotek recently came out with monitors with these exact specifications. The only difference is the display is MVA vs IPA.
Pixio PX347c Prime 34 inch Curved Ultra Wide QHD (3440 x 1440) Adaptive Sync 100hz Widescreen Display Professional Gaming Monitor Samsung PVA 1440p
[VIOTEK GN34C 34" Curved Widescreen PC Gaming Monitor - WQHD 3440 x 1440p 100Hz Refresh Rate Freesync] (https://www.amazon.com/VIOTEK-GN34C-Curved-Widescreen-Monitor/dp/B074G5G8FT/ref=sr_1_1?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1510749963&sr=1-1&keywords=viotek+34-inch+1440p+curved+100hz+gaming+monitor)
I purchased the Pixio recently, should be delivered by Friday, I will let you know how it looks. I did a lot of research on these and basically these are Korean models that use a PVA display, which are cheaper and a nice middle ground between TN and IPS. The actual displays are manufactured by Samsung so it's not like you are getting some unknown hardware.
The biggest downsides to either of these? No vesa brackets. The price point is what drew me in, as it's nearly half the price of similar displays with g-sync.
People have reported favorably about Viotek GN34C - $530 - Amazon -- 3440x1440, 100hz Samsung display panel.
Here's the relative version on amazon if people would like to read the reviews: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B074G5G8FT/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?ie=UTF8&smid=A1BVYXEL822RF0&th=1
Looks like it's the same VA panel that's in the Microboard M340CLZ and Asus MX34VQ.
Ships out on August 15, so just in time for anyone who orders a Vega.
Edit: put wrong monitor that use the same panels
Edit Edit: reddit post with a guy who bought it.
https://www.reddit.com/r/ultrawidemasterrace/comments/66k0f6/viotek_gn34c_adjust_your_freesync_range_from/?st=j5v4sz6p&sh=4d6af603
They aren't even that expensive when you compare it to two high quality monitors. This isn't even the cheapest one I found and it seems they all come with displayport which is a relatively large markup on smaller monitors. If you don't care about portability, this is the way to go.
Edit: Turns out these monitors suffer from low hertz. The MX299Q I posted actually goes to about 60 which isn't that bad but if you are running higher, it'll be pricier of course.
Edit: Here's linus on these 21:9 displays
Got mine about 5 months ago and I love it. If I remember correctly, I turned v-sync off when I got my monitor and there was an obvious difference at first. I'm not sure if it was my screen tearing or not but it took MAYBE a day (if not less) of playing to get used to it. Once you play with it for awhile, you'll never want to turn it back on (with a monitor at least, never played with it off with my TV) I also noticed there was virtually no input lag compared to my TV and that helped a lot with my response time and everything. If you're thinking about switching I highly recommend it.
I would go with these two:
They look almost identical, but the VG248QE has 144hz refresh rate which is great.
I would go with something like this.
As for monitors, I personally prefer IPS panels to TN panels. The colors are much more vibrant and the viewing angles are better. Here is a nice one.

Oh yeah. It's an ASUS PB Series PB238Q 23-Inch LED monitor. I had an Asus VG248QE gaming monitor before and actually didn't like it. Mainly the colors and quality. Bought this monitor and LOVE it. Very basic and simple. Fully adjustable as well. Only 60Hz and no audio in, but minor complaints for a great monitor.

LINNMON Corner Top and LINNMON Table Tops from IKEA (Japan) w/ ADILS Legs. I spent about 22,000 Yen on those.
I'm stationed in Japan, so it's going to take time for me to get the computer parts shipped from my house back in the US.
Here's the video it's from he mentions his 27 inch imac, so that's what the center monitor is. He also mentions the monitors either side are Dell 2740L monitors. Hope this helps.
I have this has my main monitor, and it works pretty well. Kind of expensive though.
Dell S2740L. It is indeed a glass panel. It looks great with the windows closed and no minimal lighting, but any amount of sunlight will cause an obnoxious glare/reflection. The LED back lights help tremendously.
Im in the same boat as you this is what I had in mind,
I was thinking About having a 1440p monitor in the middle and then two 1080p monitors on the side and then just switch the resolution of the 1440p monitor when I want to play at 5760x1080. I have been trying to find a setup of for this but I have had some difficulties. First, you want to keep bezels at a minimum 1440p monitors have large bezels. (The smallest I could find was a dell one)
The second problem is that in an ideal 5760x1080p setup you want all monitors to be similar when regarding screen size and the aesthetics of the monitor. This means your going to have 1080p panels at 27" and it also means that one is going to have to sit about 3 - 4ft away from the 1080 monitors (I got this figure through personal testing using a 32" 1080p monitor)
The last problem is that running a panel at its non native resolution will lower the image quality. I have yet to see any tests or pictures of 1440p panels running at 1080p.
Just my 2 Cents
On a side note,
What system do you plan on driving this with? I'm also trying to build a system from the ground up and I haven't been able find something that I deem good enough for my budget.
Edit
I forgot to add which 27" panels I would use, Dell S2740L
How does it compare to this one? http://www.amazon.com/BenQ-GW2255-21-5-Inch-LED-lit-Monitor/dp/B00AX9Z6MU/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1417551323&sr=8-1&keywords=benq+gw2255
Oh. Sorry mate. It's really not feasible to get a decent gaming rig for less, so this is gonna be a bit over budget. For the monitor, I'd go with this one: http://www.amazon.com/BenQ-GW2255-21-5-Inch-LED-lit-Monitor/dp/B00AX9Z6MU
For the keyboard/mouse, you can't beat this:

I did a quick search on displaylag.com and found a similar model to consider: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00AX9Z6MU/?tag=dislag-20

I guess it has a "fighters" mode
This is a little bit over your specified budget, but I do know that the gaming monitors used for EVO and Capcom Cup set-ups was the BenQ RL2460HT if that interests you. -- it doesn't have an IPS panel though. The two options you have listed are pretty solid too. Good luck choosing!
Bought this one for my Xbone and I'm super impressed/satisfied....plus my K/D for One Shot in Call of Duty greatly improved ;) also has a nice setup for streaming w/ hdmi out if you ever wanted to go that route

I need to play some IB with you after we win the clan war this weekend. I might try and just grind out IB rank 5 on Monday when the XP is insane.
I bought this monitor back in September when Destiny came out and absolutely love it, it's absolutely great for FPS. Scroll down and read about all the bells and whistles it has, but I remember just plugging it in and it was already good to go.
I bought a BenQ RL2460HT about six months ago and I absolutely love it. I bought this solely for gaming. I only game at 1080p (mostly console), and response time was crucial. It has 2 hdmi ports which is really nice. It also adjusts up and down to a proper viewing height as well as turns sideways (not entirely sure why). Right now I use it as a second screen for my 27" iMac and then have my console hooked up to the other port. Picture is awesome in my opinion, extremely crisp with <1ms response time. I have a small desk and anything larger than 24" (for gaming when I have to see all corners of the screen) would be too big for me personally. I can also vouch for the RL2455HM, I have used that one for a week while visiting a friend and the picture was just as good as mine.
I can't say enough good things about this monitor. However if you wanted a bigger size, 144z, 1440p, etc. This is not the monitor for you. But for $230 on Amazon right now, I highly recommend it.

This One! Albeit I bought it when it first came out a year n half ago, price has come down quit a bit since then I see! Way it goes with technology! :-D
I really wanna get the new 27 Free Sync one....but can't justify a $500 expenditure right now! :-D Plus have nothing useful to do with current one! :-D
Hmm, thanks for those recommendations. Those are definitely beautiful monitors, but I'm not quite sure I'm ready to spend that much on a monitor yet. Gsync doesn't matter much to me as I've never really had any sort of tearing before. I'm thinking of something like this. Do you know any off the top of your head that are in that price range with those sorts of specs? There are plenty but I'm not sure if there are some regarded as the best. Maybe this or this.
27" AOC, $290, has the 144hz, no IPS no g-sync or free sync
24" AOC, $210 Has free sync, no IPS, not 27 inches
Both have display ports, which are necessary if you're trying to actually utilize 144hz.
Disclaimer I am from the US so I do not know about pricing for Italy.
Either one of these will work and are highly rated, the 2nd one being a bit pricier due to the brand specializing in this tech: http://www.amazon.com/AOC-G2770PQU-Ultimate-Performance-Professional/dp/B00L8LTB3W/ref=sr_1_2?s=pc&amp;ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1462894888&amp;sr=1-2&amp;keywords=27+inch+144hz

I have the AOC 144HZ https://www.amazon.com/AOC-G2770PQU-Ultimate-Performance-Professional/dp/B00L8LTB3W
It's not too bad for a 1080p screen. I bought a Spyder 5 express to run the color calibration and it helps a lot with the accuracy.
It's definitely an added bonus if your card cant hit the refresh rates consistently. In layman's speak, it smooths things out when the card can't hit 60hz or 144hz. Many models now exist for gsync and freesync options, but freesync tends to be a bit more expensive compared to standard, whereas gsync is in the upper echelon of prices. You can find a 1080p 144hz freesync no problem. Apparently this one is really good. https://www.amazon.com/Nixeus-1920x1080-Adaptive-Sync-Widescreen-NX-VUE24A/dp/B0131PBN6U

That is because there are 2 "Styles" of the same monitor. But one is 144Hz without freesync and the other is up to 75Hz Freesync, the reviews are for both models.

Its a Raspberry Pi screen I got off amazon. The page said it was 7mm deep and would have been a perfect fit between the glass and my basement. But the screen and board are 7mm deep, the HDMI port is mounted underneath and ruined my plans. If your case has a front mouthed SSD on the basement then you'll be fine.

Breakdown:
The R5 2600X is close to the i7 8700K in performance, while being significantly cheaper; the CPU is more affordable, the motherboard is more affordable, and it doesn't need an aftermarket CPU cooler. It is also capable of automatically overclocking itself via XFR 2 and Precision Boost 2. The stock Wraith Spire cooler it comes with is also exceptional.
The R5 2600X doesn't need an aftermarket cooler. Also the Hyper 212 Evo isn't a great cooler for the i7 8700K. Something considerably stronger like the Thermalright Macho Rev. B ($50) or the Scythe Fuma ($47) would be a lot more fittting for the i7 8700K.
B450 mobo for Ryzen.
Ryzen works best with fast memory, so I chose 3000Mhz.
You chose the older version of the Barracuda, so I chose the newer one.
Upgraded the GTX 1080 to the GTX 1080 Ti.
Got a higher quality power supply that is also more affordable.

Since I shaved $143.25 off of your initial build while also making it it noticeably stronger, you can put the extra money towards getting a better monitor.

Monitor Breakdown:
This is a 27" 1440p 144Hz TN G-Sync monitor.
It has over twice the refresh rate of both of the monitors you selected, and comes with G-Sync.
G-Sync is V-Sync without the input lag. It can make 40fps feel like 60fps, with the same logic applicable to higher refresh-rates (e.g. 100-144Hz). Nice technology that can make choppy gameplay feel buttery smooth.
This is my monitor, it's awesome and cheap:

I was looking for the same thing but I came across the realization that integrated speakers are pretty crap. You would be better off grabbing some cheap Logitech speakers and connecting them via Audio out.
Question for you, do you have a MacBook dock? How are you connecting?
For Xbox and other console gaming, they mostly output 60Hz so you don’t anything higher than 60.
Here is a few that I found that have speakers but they lacked in USB ports which I would rather have. That way I can just connect directly to my MacBook with one connection and not need to worry about additional cables.
BenQ Monitors are simply beautiful, they have everything you’re looking for but no USB’s, not sure if you need USB ports.
(slightly pricier) BenQ EW2770QZ 27” 2560x1440 IPS Entertainment Monitor, Ultra Slim Bezel, Eye Care, 100% sRGB/Rec709, HDMI, DP Input, Speakers , 60Hz refresh rate https://www.amazon.com/dp/B06XDM6WP2/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_B5z7Bb338VQ6W
Do you care about 1440 vs 1080?
If not, this has everything, IPS, speakers and USB

This is right in your price range but only 1 USB port

Regarding your monitor, it should work just fine. Those are a few other monitors I saw in my own search during the past few days that I saw that might interest you also.

that reviewer said this MSI monitor with VA panel has significantly better image than the LG, even though this is an IPS panel, what..?
I've been looking at this MSI optix MAG341CQ)
It's 1440p, 100hz, 34in, freesync, and is VA panel. And it's only $400 at a microcenter or $480 on Amazon.

Based on some things I've found around the internet, I know that getting a full 3440x1440 at 144hz is hard even for a 1080ti (not personally experienced, but just what I've read), and one of the comments mentions that as well. If you're worried about price too, there are cheaper ultrawides with the specs like this one:
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07G5FCR6X/?coliid=I2GT05OFOIDA9F&colid=1BOMF6FJ4A6K6&psc=0&ref_=lv_ov_lig_dp_it
&#x200B;
which I've had my eyeball on. I haven't used it personally, but I saw it in a couple of youtube videos that did benchmarks on ultrawide monitors, and it looked great to me.
If I were you I'd go look at how some of the games you play most frequent/games you want to play look in ultrawide, and figure out if the higher refresh rate is something that's super important to you. If you're not really a competitive gamer I don't think you'll really care too much about hitting the 144hz mark, but it is nice to have the option there. Meaning that it'd be better to get a monitor that has the max capacity you'd want versus getting cheaper now with an intent to upgrade. Just some of my thoughts as I'm planning to upgrade sometime this year as well.
You can get this monitor that received some pretty solid remarks but not sure it checks off all your boxes....

I picked up my PCU earlier in the month when it was on sale - Corsair RMi Series, RM750i, 750 Watt, 80+ Gold , Fully Modular - Digital Power Supply
What do you think is a better option for screen? Either two of these or one of these. I'll be doing some moderate gaming on it, I don't have tons of time for games, but when I play I'd like them to look great if I'm spending this much. Same goes for movies.
Anything else I'm missing? I'll keep the mouse I already have and I found a mechanical keyboard that seems fine.
Heres some good 1440p ones aswell:

In Amazon.in I found some 144hz monitors for less than 36k rupees just by searching for "144hz" '-'... you should try searching it there again.
Here are some (If you are okay with 24" there are much more options):

And btw, I don't understand much about monitors, so I have no idea if these are any good, but they definitely fit into your criteria.

cpu: by going the with 3600 it will bring this computer up to modern cpu performance benchmarks, where the ryzen 5 3600 has a 2800 single threaded benchmark vs. the ryzen 7 1700's 1700 single threaded benchmark.
cpu cooler: The stock cooler if fine.
thermal paste: I suggest this for all ryzen 3000 builds even though the included air cooler has a stock paste applied. (requires removing the stock paste with alcohol) This ensures the best thermal conductivity. This is very important because of how the new chips are designed.
memory: Blazing fast 16Gb ddr4 3600mhz 16 latency memory, the new ryzen 3000 series benefits from fast memory.
video card: as our chosen monitor is 1080p our only gaming benchmark target is gaming in 1080p. The rx 580 can be found for less than $120 used, and new it's $170. Here are the benchmarks compared with some other videocards when using the ryzen 5 3600. This is the average framerate on Ultra settings across 40 games. The button can be used to change from Ultra to High, Medium, or Low.
monitor: a 27inch (also available in 24inch for the same price, if you prefer better pixel density), 144hz, IPS (Rich color depth), 1ms (total 4ms response time), Flat not curved, gaming monitor. This monitor is new as of September this year, and offers many of the features of TN panels (fast response times) and above average motion blur for FPS style games. This should be a great gaming experience. Here is a very in depth review. A similar quality curved monitor can also be purchase for -$50
power supply: a 550w (more than enough watts), gold rated (power efficient), fully modular(easy to build with), 5-year warranty, and is currently on sale for -$20.
Something to remember too.. is that if you are changing the cpu, that you want to heat up the cpu (by running/utilizing the cpu) to safely separate the cpu fan from the cpu (after it's powered off). It should be gently twist and pull to remove.
As mentioned about 1080p vs. 1440p. I would stick with 1080p for now until you are ready to upgrade monitors and gpus to 1440p. The price for great performance in 1440p is slowly becoming more reasonable (usually a $400+ graphics cards, and a $250+ monitor). The rest of the system (cpu, mobo, psu, ram) are all ready for upgrading to 1440p after the changes.
That's about it! Let me know if you have any questions!
It looks like your monitors are only 60hertz, and 1080p at that. With a build of this caliber, I would recommend getting something like this.

I got this AOC one. It's basically the same as the Samsung for a similar price. Except it also has freesync.
I don't know if the colors of the Samsung is better or not though but to me the AOC looks fine.
Both of them come in 32" versions. Which I got and I'm loving it.
how about https://www.amazon.ca/Acer-V277U-FreeSync-Monitor-Speakers/dp/B07M9V8XNQ?pf_rd_p=b2e88044-7acf-410f-9018-dc66c6df11fe&pd_rd_wg=ECmIS&pf_rd_r=T31SSMKC744SAGM5YN90&ref_=pd_gw_cr_simh&pd_rd_w=por6b&pd_rd_r=0d189815-0300-4ef8-804c-d706fc78a29e
I recently bought this Acer V277U, 1440p, IPS monitor. Its pretty great, with good blacks and no IPS bleed.
The only downside that I felt is the stand is pretty basic and doesn't offer any adjustments
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07M9V8XNQ/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o03_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
The other model that I was considering was this BenQ GW2765HT. I didn't like the gloss bezels. But it has got a height and rotation adjust stand
https://www.amazon.com/BenQ-GW2765HT-Monitor-Optimized-Technology/dp/B00KYCSRSG/ref=pd_cp_147_3?pd_rd_w=LNiE3&pf_rd_p=ef4dc990-a9ca-4945-ae0b-f8d549198ed6&pf_rd_r=FGFRBRNZPN8QVC2XZFTC&pd_rd_r=4ccf90fb-ba82-4fbe-bc32-878e00efe123&pd_rd_wg=Zjq5Q&pd_rd_i=B00KYCSRSG&psc=1&refRID=FGFRBRNZPN8QVC2XZFTC
I'm having an issue with my monitors when Freesync is turned on. I have 3 monitors. My main one is a 144/155Hz Dell (Link) and the secondaries are Acer 75Hz (Link). I have tried the Dell at both 144 and 155. My GPU is a 5700 XT on 19.8.1 drivers.
My issue is when I am playing a game on the main screen (I've noticed it with Overwatch and Fortnite in Windowed Borderless) that my other 2 monitors FPS drops to almost nothing. If I have Discord or TS or something up, I can't see it light up when I talk or someone else does. If I have a video running on Youtube, it is running at less than 1 FPS. It's like the monitor doesn't want to update what's on the screen.
I turned off Freesync on the monitor and in the Radeon settings and it seemed fix the issue, so I'm pretty sure it's Freesync. When I google this issue, it seems like most people have the opposite problem where the performance hit is on their main monitor. Also, most answers seem to be play in Fullscreen mode (defeats the purpose of multi monitors, no?) or buy all Freesync monitors at the same refresh rate. Not really an option. Some people say it's actually a Windows issue. I'm not finding much good info, so I'm hoping someone here knows about this.
Does anyone know of any fix or anything to try? What am I losing by not using Freesync? I guess I don't fully understand that technology either.
Edit - Probably not relevant, but here's my full build that I finished a week or two ago. https://pcpartpicker.com/list/mJt6cY
Also, I did not have this issue prior to my new build. I had a 144Hz main screen and 2 60Hz screens at that time, but was using an Nvidia card but not G-sync or freesync.

Anyone know the difference between this one and https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07M9V8XNQ/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o02_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 ? Is it just this one has 60hz refresh rate vs 75hz for the one I linked?
On Amazon, I see several, but I'm looking at:
https://smile.amazon.com/AOC-AG273QCX-FreeSync-DisplayHDR-DisplayPort/dp/B07MJCF5N4/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_product_top?ie=UTF8#customerReviews
27", QHD, 144 Hz for $250, but it is a VA panel.

Have to compare it to this one though:

https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B07MJCF5N4?psc=1&amp;ref=ppx_pop_mob_b_asin_title Got this when i made the swap to pc, looks 10 times better than the 4k i had with the PsPro.
I went for more of a budget pick for what I've been told is a medium-tier gaming monitor.
Why purchase that and not this: https://www.amazon.com/Sceptre-Edge-Less-FreeSync-DisplayPort-C275B-144RN/dp/B07N6ZBCVY/ref=sr_1_8?crid=18WSNRO1RHB63&keywords=144hz+gaming+monitor&qid=1563297437&s=electronics&sprefix=144%2Celectronics%2C135&sr=1-8
I did find this monitor from sceptre for $247 but I’m questioning the reliability of it. Does anyone have a sceptre monitor and if so how good is it?

Affordable. They also have a 25 inch 166hz model around the same price.
I would go with 1080p. I wouldn’t push past it unless you have a 2080 really. At least if you’re looking to take advantage of the 144 hz. I just got a 144hz 1080p monitor in today from spectre. Not much testing done but so far so good. I have the same card as you. Spectre C27

This one? I'm checking them out price is top!
This Sceptre I purchased for myself being a decent human being is pretty awesome. It's on the low-end of the gaming monitor totem pole, but for me it checked all the boxes.
The speakers are tremendously "meh", but I usually game with a headset anyway. It's just nice to have in a pinch or for convenience. I really appreciate all the options there are in the way of modifying picture. I've had a bad run of black crush in a lot of monitors before, but this has a lot of features available to mitigate the issue.
I picked up this monitor and have been using is close to a year now and love its looks and performs really well 144 but its 3ms I was okay with that because of the curve and size as well as the super slim bezels.

All on sale with similar specs (from my knowledge, but different brands)
I would get the LG 24GL600F-B instead if I were you.
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07NHSJ1RF
Cheapest.
$7 more, but a superior monitor.
This monitor seems to be pretty decent judging by the reviews (both amazon and reddit), and it's on a 25$ off. Would be thankful if you hit me up if something better comes up though. The S2419HGF reviews are pretty bad.
Im going to be honest with you, a 2K ultrawide displaying 100Hz are findable for around €600, but their quality in general (and mostly warranty) is bad.
Out of curiosity, what are your specs?
You may find these interesting:

In EU they'll be a tad more expensive. The VIOTEK GN34C's quality is bad. The back of it makes cracking noises after using it a lot due to warmth.
Let me look for some EU websites.
EDIT: couldnt find any, besides amazon UK, where the model is unavailable.

That monitor is 3440x1440 isn't that 4k, I guess I'll stick to 1080p to help bring the budget down. I also heard that 1080p shows bigger pixels and that its recommended if it's under 24" do you think the same applies to curved widescreen monitors? I was using the same site and found this, do you recommend this one?

Question is, while this whole build is nearly 1/2 the price of an equivalent PCPartPicker build, is this computer about to be so outdated that it is not worth buying now? Would it be better to wait a few more months for GPU's and RAM prices to dip and build my own mITX system?
Note, I have all my own peripherals already.
It can be daunting, for sure. Here's the one I recently researched and purchased for my wife, and it's in your budget range.
https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B074G96MPM/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

I am getting back into computer gaming with my new build and will be getting a 5700 XT GPU once better coolers are available in August or September. However, I'm not exactly a hardcore gamer... I'll never stream and PUBG is about the only shooter I'll probably play as my tastes range more towards something like 7 Days to Die, Grand Theft Auto, or Red Dead Online. I do a lot of spreadsheet work and some data visualization work through D3.js, as well as Google Sketchup.
Is a 60 Hz refresh rate going to be something that I find awful in a monitor such as: https://www.amazon.com/LG-34UC80-B-34-Inch-21-UltraWide/dp/B074JKT894/ ? Would I be happier with https://www.amazon.com/MSI-Non-Glare-UltraWide-21-Resolution/dp/B07G5FCR6X/ ?
I'm definitely looking forward to switching to a single ultrawide instead of two smaller monitors (my current setup), because it just looks so much cleaner to me and there are models available that have dropped into my price range. I just don't want to drop $800+ if I'm going to be perfectly happy with a $550 or less model for what I do.
I'm thinking of picking up MSI's ultrawide curved monitor (This one). I'm currently running a 1070 and an i7 8700k. I wanted my GPU to last another year, but would it be worth upgrading now? I'm looking at a 2070 Super or 2060 Super, once they're more readily available.
What are your options ?
I'm looking for the same thing, an afordable 34inch, 1440 - not for gaming

At $400 you’ll have a fair bit of choice, I’m not up-to-date with current monitors but you’d be talking something like:-

Or even something in White:-
https://www.amazon.com/Viotek-GN34CW-34-Inch-Ultrawide-Professional/dp/B07HZ499J4/ref=sr_1_13?keywords=Ultrawide+34&amp;qid=1569189066&amp;s=gateway&amp;sr=8-13

There are probably loads more, these are just the first few on Amazon, I haven’t tested or researched them so they could be terrible, but from the ones above I’d probably take the MSI one (all though slightly over budget) and I’d still want to research it somewhat before making a purchase. I’m sure if you hold out until Cyber Monday there will be other offers.
One thing I will say though is check your available space as a 34” Ultrawide might only stand as tall as a 27” but it’s HUGE in width!
There are a few good ones, MSI has a 1440 ultrawide that does 100HZ that can regularly be found for about 430, https://www.amazon.com/MSI-Non-Glare-UltraWide-21-Resolution/dp/B07G5FCR6X/ref=sr_1_5?keywords=34UM88C&qid=1569569938&s=electronics&sr=1-5 That one yhas 110% Srgb as well a decent 8ms refresh rate.
This MSI is a mixture of all three of the monitors you listed, it has the high resolution of the first with the ultrawide ratio of the other two, the only drawback is the lower refresh rate of 100hz rather than 144hz.
RTX 2060 or 1660ti to best utilize this monitor? https://www.amazon.com/MSI-Non-Glare-UltraWide-21-Resolution/dp/B07G5FCR6X . I am using this with an i5-4690k and 8gb of ram
For cheap you could get 2x https://www.newegg.com/p/N82E16824146286?Description=2560x1440&cm_re=2560x1440-_-24-146-286-_-Product
&#x200B;
As for ultrawide (3440x1440), the cheapest I believe is:
https://www.amazon.com/MSI-Non-Glare-UltraWide-21-Resolution/dp/B07G5FCR6X/ref=sr_1_13?keywords=3440x1440&qid=1559057918&s=gateway&sr=8-13
I was torn between these two. As they use a similar panel:
https://www.amazon.com/MSI-Non-Glare-UltraWide-21-Resolution/dp/B07G5FCR6X
I went for the vast mainly due to asthetics.

What is your budget for a monitor? MSI generally has some pretty good options. I just got a viotek and I'm loving it. I've heard pretty decent things about monoprice and AOC as well.
This is my next monitor for programming (and gaming) purposes.

Check this one out. AOC has come a long way in my opinion, for $199 you get a 27" curved monitor 144hz with freesync. I was a little skeptical of the brand too but I've had nothing but a great experience. Has great reviews and if anything is wrong with is Amazon will replace or refund it with no restock fees.

https://www.amazon.com/AOC-C27G1-Frameless-DisplayPort-Adjustable/dp/B07GD5XG5G?th=1 this one? If it is I'm out of lucked since it's free synced and not G synced :(.
Currently own this one and couldn't be happier.

To be honest, if the “ghosting” doesn’t bother you at all when gaming (doesn’t bother me) this Viewsonic has been working quite well, for me and I grabbed t when it was on sale, so that was a nice perk.
This AOC is supposed to be pretty comparable and is rated pretty highly, as well, it just gets a bit dim when you enable the overdrive (per reviews I’ve seen), so that’s something to take into account. A largish plus to this one is the DisplayPort and VESA, I believe.
Now that it’s on sale I’m tempted to exchange, honestly.
https://www.amazon.com/AOC-C27G1-Frameless-DisplayPort-Adjustable/dp/B07GD5XG5G
Is this a good deal?
60% off any electronic is suspicious. A curved monitor like that in that size is always gonna be $250+
Did you search that model on reputable websites yet? Like amazon for instance. Please don’t buy it, dude.
Im looking to upgrade my gaming monitor. Looking for the best 144hz monitor under $300.

A lot are on the 1440p @ 144hz so if you're after 1080p it'll be really cheap. So the world is your oyster at your price point lol.
BenQ has great color accuracy so your games and movies would look nice.
Acer 24" for $165, will get you 1080p, TN panel ultra low latency, 30-144Hz Freesync range with LFC (low frame rate compensation which doubles or triples frames so they fall into Freesync range not all displays have LFC).
AOC 27" $259, 1080p curved display, TN panel ultra low latency, 48-144 Freesync range with LFC so same as above more or less.
&#x200B;
Freesync helps smooth out inconsistent frame-rates making some 30/40/50fps games feel smoother.
That Freesync range with LFC roughly translates into 20-60fps range on Xbox with 60hz output and 20-120fps range with 120hz output. Though realistically only 60fps games, rare games with unlocked frame-rates and VRR (freesync) store certified titles will see any benefit (see store capabilities->VRR).
A lot of Xbox One games are 30fps and these games often using a thing called adaptive vsync, this does not work with VRR/Freesync unless the game is VRR certified, for example The Division 2 is a recent example.
If the Xbox One is able to output 120hz mode with VRR/Freesync enabled leave it at that otherwise use 60Hz with VRR, keep in mind Freesync must be manually enabled on the monitors own settings first.
&#x200B;
Check this one. It is more gaming focus but has better than average color support.
Maybe a little lacking in the productivity area because it is only 1080p, but meets your other criteria.

Here's the only review on Amazon which says " The monitor also has an Adaptive Sync option. I'm using an Nvidia RTX 2060 but do not have the ability for adaptive sync in the Nvidia control panel. However, it might be because a previous firmware version is needed in order to allow this. "
Otherwise the reviewer seemed pleased.

I want to run a dual monitor set up for editing on Lr and PS, i plan on purchasing an arm mount to stack them next to eachother. Any suggestions between these two monitors?

None of them, if you want 1080p + IPS you can get something cheaper like this. Or you can even go up to 1440p for this. Could get a 24" 1080p monitor so the pixels aren't as noticeable too.
&nbsp;
I would recommend the Acer V277U. $209, 100% sRGB color gamut, 75hz freesync.

I'm pretty ignorant to what I should be looking for but wanting to replace my 2nd monitor. My monitor that I game on is a dell s2716dgr which is a TN panel 1440p monitor, would this screen go well with it? 2nd monitor is being used for browsing and watching shows.

This is the exact one I am thinking about.......also have this on the list because it is a VA panel. Just not sure if the free sync plays nice with Nvidia.
How is this monitor compared to the MSI?

OK, since you seem to be in the US I would suggest the Viotek GN27D - I have this monitor and I think it's very impressive in terms of smoothness and color. A few people have complained about dead pixels with this one but my unit seems to be fine.
One downside of this monitor is that the stand is kind of cheap and flimsy, but that's not a huge deal.
Here's an alternative from AOC, though I admittedly don't know a ton about this one. There's also this AOC monitor which is only $230 for a 1440p/144Hz Freesync display, but it's only 24".
The monitor you have currently is really solid! I personally, would not bother upgrading just for deeper color, especially for games. But since I'm here to help:
VIOTEK GFT27DB 27” - 329.99 - https://viotek.com/gft27db-27-inch-wqhd-gaming-monitor-speaker-gsync-compatible/
This one is still a TN panel, but its the right size and it boasts 115% sRGB color gamut.
AOC AG273QCX - $499.99 https://www.amazon.com/AOC-AG273QCG-Curved-Monitor-DisplayPort/dp/B07MJCF5N4?th=1
There is also a G sync version that is a lot more expensive. It's VA, 1ms response, the 3000:1 static contrast usually seen in VA panels (IPS & TN are usually 1000:1).
27" CHG70 Gaming Monitor with Quantum Dot - 499.99 - https://www.samsung.com/us/computing/monitors/gaming/27--chg70-gaming-monitor-with-quantum-dot-lc27hg70qqnxza/#reviews
VA Samsung monitor that seems to check all the boxes.
&#x200B;
Hope these suggestions help! Sorry I couldn't find cheaper ones.
&#x200B;
&#x200B;
&#x200B;
you mean this AOC Agon AG273QCX? AOC one is VA panel.
This is probably more monitor than this system needs. Do you need an IPS monitor?
What about a FreeSync VA panel like the AOC Agon AG273QCX. It seems to come in and out of stock, but is usually $299. Then you could go with a 5700 xt like the the Sapphire Pulse or Nitro+ which would be a step up from the 2060 Super but only cost a little bit more.
If you cut back on the monitor a little, you could move up a notch on the quality of the memory, storage, and power supply.
Speaking of AOC 1440p 144hz freesync monitors, just ordered a pair of these, hopefully they end up being good. They come Friday so here's hoping.
Try this monitor out. https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B07MJCF5N4?psc=1&amp;ref=ppx_pop_mob_b_asin_image
I have it and the colors and brightness is great and the motion is smooth. The blacks are definitely a big improvement from when I used to have a 4K IPS monitor. This monitor goes up to 144 hz refresh with Freesync 2. It is also a 1440p VA panel.
I went with https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07MJCF5N4/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o05_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 AOC Agon monitor. I use it for my xbox (I have an Alienware ultrawide for my pc) and I haven't had any problems with it (it is gsync compatible, supposedly)
Thanks broski and yeah I got ya. It’s definitely a solid budget monitor. It uses a VA panel instead of IPS, but if you’re not picky it’s still a really clean monitor.
Should i get this or

This is the absolute best bang for your buck that you can possibly get. It's 144 hz 27 screen that isn't tiny like 24, and lastly is curved which makes even that much better.
Oh boy, here we go with hardware critiques. Well, I actually use the usb-c input to connect my Mac when I’m not gaming so it also serves a productivity function. Honestly, I only kept it because of that one port and it wasn’t insanely expensive (also got it on sale). If I do decide to make the switch to a monitor with a faster/higher refresh rate, I’d need one that has built-in speakers and is 27-32” as those are big deal breakers for me
Update: What are your thoughts on this?

-Upgraded to the AMD 3700X with 3.6 Ghz, 8 cores and hyper-threading.
-Motherboard with some RGB, built-in wi-fi and good reviews.
-Dropped down to 16 GB of RAM, but increased the speeds. I think this would work great.
-Switched to a cheaper, but much faster M.2 NVMe drive. This will plug directly into the motherboard, no cables or wires needed.
-Slightly cheaper RTX 2070 Super. The reviews on the american newegg say it's a great card that runs cool and has a bit of RGB.
-I think this is an overlooked case. Great price, all black with a tempered glass window. I thought the cable management looked good too, here is a completed build on pcpartpicker that uses the same case.
-Similar PSU for the price. I added a bit more wattage for future upgrades or overclocking.
-Cheaper monitor, here are the reviews for it on the american amazon page.

According to online articles and such Display Port 1.2 > DVII so I was looking at monitors and this one looks pretty good.

Is VGA the same as DVI? Does his have the 3 combo?

The 7700K is the strongest regular gaming processor, the GTX 1070 a good gpu. If you want to use up more of your budget you could go to a GTX 1080, but I sticked to the GTX 1070 as I decided to pick two 1080p displays for this build. And the 1070 is pretty powerful for 1080p. 512GB SSD plus a 1TB HDD, I think the case strikes the futuristic design checkbox (but you absolutely can pick another one if you prefer).
For the display, two of https://www.amazon.com/ASUS-VE248Q-1920x1080-DisplayPort-Monitor/dp/B005BZNDHQ would work well. They can be connected via display port.
For the keyboard you could get https://www.amazon.com/Plugable-Mechanical-Enthusiasts-Backlighting-Double-shot/dp/B01MA6O13L. Head over to /r/MechanicalKeyboards and look especially at the wiki to see more alternatives.
I've done my research and I'm perfectly happy with the specs for the Surface Laptop. I only need a computer for word processing and reading so the mid range Surface Laptop will be able to do everything I need no problem. Its important for me to have something sleek and professional looking while small and light weight since my law books are practically bricks.
What is an ISP monitor? Is this one recommended above an ISP monitor?
I'd definitely be happy if you showed me a few monitors and i've done a little bit of looking around myself and came across these two monitors:
How do these look? Many of the other monitors I saw only had 1 hdmi port and a vga port which got me thinking; do I need a display port or can I get a thunderbolt to VGA adapter or thunderbolt to hdmi port and use that? Are there any drawbacks to that or differences than using a display port?
Also if I play my ps4 on this monitor will there be any kind of input lag or would I not have to worry about that? I know it's something I have to think about when using certain types of tv's because i've had friends who have gotten new tv's but now there is a noticeable input lag and ruins the experience when playing games. Is that something I need to be concerned about on these kinds of monitors?
update: I also found this ACER 24" IPS with 1 DVI (w/HDCP), 1 HDMI, and 1 VGA port.
This one is much cheaper but I'm not sure the differences between them? It says 4ms rapid response time, compared to the 2ms on the ASUS. Is that difference noticeable or negligible for ps4 gaming? Can i get away with using the HDMI for my ps4, get an adapter to VGA for my mac or are there drawbacks for using VGA? So far of the 3, the ASUS seems the best but this one is 40 bones cheaper.
cheaper on amazon https://www.amazon.com/ASUS-VE248Q-1920x1080-DisplayPort-Monitor/dp/B005BZNDHQ/ref=sr_1_2?s=pc&amp;ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1480170262&amp;sr=1-2&amp;keywords=Asus+VG248QE****
One last thing.Since I'm most likely getting the first monitor, what's the difference between these three? (Same monitor) https://www.amazon.com/ASUS-VE248H-1920x1080-Back-lit-Monitor/dp/B0043T7FHK/ref=sr_1_7?m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&amp;s=pc&amp;ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1479785709&amp;sr=1-7&amp;refinements=p_6%3AATVPDKIKX0DER%2Cp_75%3A30-%2Cp_n_feature_keywords_two_browse-bin%3A6570747011%2Cp_n_size_browse-bin%3A3547806011&amp;th=1
(First one I have you)
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?item=N82E16824236154
Then there's this one? It's the same one, but with a Q in the end of the product name.
Same here https://www.amazon.com/ASUS-VE248H-1920x1080-Back-lit-Monitor/dp/B005BZNDHQ/ref=sr_1_7?m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&amp;s=pc&amp;ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1479785709&amp;sr=1-7&amp;refinements=p_6%3AATVPDKIKX0DER%2Cp_75%3A30-%2Cp_n_feature_keywords_two_browse-bin%3A6570747011%2Cp_n_size_browse-bin%3A3547806011&amp;th=1
It seems like the Q one is more expensive (10 dollar difference) What does it have? Should I get the Q one instead of the H one? It also seems that the Q one has 50,000,000 instead of the H one which has 10,000,000 (Which is better?) Also seem like in Newegg the monitor has a sticker on it while in Amazon it doesn't. Something to consider? Where should I buy it from?
https://www.amazon.com/ASUS-VE248Q-1920x1080-DisplayPort-Monitor/dp/B005BZNDHQ/ref=sr_1_2?s=electronics&amp;ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1526308876&amp;sr=1-2&amp;keywords=vg248qe
here's a cheaper oneI am wrong - amazon search betrayed meNot filling the high refresh rate... but I am using this in my kitchen on an arm
https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B005BZNDHQ
But the 'speakers' are a joke. I got a super cheap small soundbar and the soundbar mounts that go into the vesa mount
https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B01GUIEFJC
Works well enough for the kitchen, keeps it nice and clean with no wires or stand since Im edge clamping a monitor arm mount to the edge of the bar.
It has speaker out, so you go mini jack to rca to a 'sound bar'. As for higher refresh rate monitors, they might have one, I was going super cheap. and 24" at 1080p looks really good. I didnt want any bigger than 24" and tv's at that size are 720p only for the most part. 1080p comes in at like 32" when I was looking. That monitor, soundbar, monitor arm, and all stuff like power strip stuck to the back and such, cost right around $225
Sorry I meant $2000 but I'm sure you already figured that out:
I think it would be okay, but you also have to remember that, unless you have the new PS4 pro controller that gets rid of input lag by plugging into the PS4, the Bluetooth connection causes addition input lag.
If I can make a recommendation, I would look at this one, if funds are an issue
This is the one that I have for my PC, but I plug my PS4 up if I'm playing a competitive game like Rocket league/2k/For Honor/FPS
I love my monitor and it makes an undeniable difference in ultra competitive games like Rocket League or 2k where there is a significant amount of input lag.
Another main difference is that the one I have has a refresh rate of 144 hz and unless you have a PC you would use it for those extra 84hz won't make a difference since PS4 games can't go over 60 fps. It will make the game smoother, but you won't get any extra frames, which is why the first monitor I linked would be better for console usage exclusively.
The two at both ends are ASUS VE248Q and my middle one is an Acer monitor I picked up for $180 on sale at staples. You can see that one here.
Depends what you consider cheap? This is the one I use as secondary monitor for my PC and to play consoles on, it does the job well. It only has one HDMI port however so I use my PC on displayport and consoles on the HDMI port. If you need 2x HDMI ports I believe the 27" variant does have option for 2x HDMI ports, a bit more expensive though.
The world of standard 1080p monitors is pretty vast. I'm not sure what your budget is, but you might want to look into an IPS display.
I have heard good things about this one. But can't personally vouch for it.
Note: I own the monitor you listed.
If that's your budget, you could get 2 PB238Q's from ASUS, which is probably one of the best 1080p monitors for consumers (unless you want a gaming oriented display).
http://www.amazon.com/Series-PB238Q-23-Inch-LED-lit-Monitor/dp/B00906GBBC
I think psikeiro is trying to sell one of these off, too, so hit him up.
You don't need a gaming monitor, it's 100% personal preference. I personally use an Asus PB238Q. It's a 6ms 60Hz IPS panel, and I have no issues with games. Some people prefer faster 120/144Hz TN panels for gaming, but I prefer the color accuracy of an IPS panel.
I have this 1440p display - http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B009C3M7H0/
Are you against getting 3 of the same display? That is generally ideal.
Based on the model number, I guess this would be the 23" 1080p display to match it, but the button layout is different and kind of ugly.
I use my PS4 on my TV now, but I've used it on my monitor and actually like the look on my monitor more. My ASUS IPS has more input lag than the one you are interested in, but I never notice it.
EDIT: If you really want my opinion, I'd get this ASUS IPS.
I can get you cheap, but not best. I can get you best, but not cheap. You're asking for two mutually exclusive things, do you want the best over the cheapest or the cheapest over the best?
I can offer up three cheap, decent monitors (about a 4 out of 10 on quality): ASUS VS239H-P, Dell E2414Hx, Acer G246HL.
I can offer up 2 fantastic, but decently expensive monitors (about a 7-8 out of 10 on quality): Dell UltraSharp U2412M, Asus PB238Q
Trade offs for everything.
And to add to the list:
The Asus PB238Q: http://www.amazon.com/Series-PB238Q-23-Inch-LED-lit-Monitor/dp/B00906GBBC
I have this guy: ASUS PB238Q 23" Full HD 1920x1080 IPS DisplayPort HDMI DVI VGA USB Monitor
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00906GBBC/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_jfzLzbFNA2RZ0
Lmk if you're interested. Thanks!
i've had this monitor for about a year now and I highly recommend it. I'm considering getting another one for a dual monitor setup. The negative reviews point out the response time to be poor, but I (personally) dont notice it
Its currently $212, just a little over what you said unfortunately, but its a very good monitor
Great! I'm glad you set a good chunk of the budget for your monitors. For the $600 range, I would recommend the ASUS PA248Q and for the $400 range, the ASUS PB238Q. If you find a PB248Q that would be an equally good choice. Getting an IPS or PLS panel becomes more important when you have multiple monitors since you won't be looking at all of them at a direct angle.
I considered this monitor, and the two complaints that kept popping up in reviews were the aggressive anti-glare coating, and excessive brightness. I would try to look at this screen in a store. Seeing it in store turned me off of it, but the Asus pb238q turned out to be a much better choice, in my opinion. The anti glare coating affected the picture too much for me to justify the price, but maybe it won't be such an issue for you, which is why I suggest trying to see a display model. Also the PB238Q seems to be on sale at amazon right now for $200 with a $20 rebate, so there's that.
Asus PB238Q
Update: After doing further research (thanks buildapc IRC), I bought two of these monitors. They look fantastic, and I'm really glad I got them.
For $10 more you can get a 27"

http://lifehacker.com/5966781/five-best-computer-monitors -- this came up. Plan on researching on it more.
Ok, gotcha. It had a note regarding IPS on the Amazon page, but that must have been a more general note. Thanks for the heads up!
With regards to the second - would you choose that MX2 over the Acer H276HL and the Dell S2740L?
so it sounds to me like you'd appreciate an IPS monitor more than a TN monitor with a high refresh and low latency. IPS monitors are really worth it for the great color and picture quality, as well as viewing angles
so that leaves us with the variables size, resolution, and of course price, here are some options:
any of those are great picks, tell me if you want any more examples of monitors, ips or not
If you're just looking for gaming...
http://www.amazon.com/Dell-927M9-IPS-LED-27-Inch-LED-lit-Monitor/dp/B009H0XQPA/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1369073843&amp;sr=8-1&amp;keywords=s2740l
I've got the 24" version, and I love it. I plan on expanding in the future with an additional 24", and one 27". The edge to edge glass is boner-inducing.
I personally use two of these so far http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B009H0XQPA?cache=04a8eebf1f9f7f8cccf78056af7fde82&amp;pi=SY200_QL40&amp;qid=1405923263&amp;sr=8-1#ref=mp_s_a_1_1
Quality is top notch. Beware it is a glass panel so there can be some reflection but I never am bothered by it. Dell monitors have never let me down. Had them for years for gaming.
These look good, but what about http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B009H0XQPA/ref=ox_sc_act_title_2?ie=UTF8&amp;psc=1&amp;smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER ? Perhaps a little insight would help me out. Is the fact that a 27" running 1080 res. just isn't going to cut it? The fully adjustable stand isn't that big of a priority for me, as would be that I would prefer to go 27" over 24".
It's this dell from Amazon. However I would wait before you buy it. It's quite expensive now compared to when I got it. It goes as low as 260 sometimes it just varies with their stock.

In your price range, this is really your only option. It is a VA, which is better than TN, but not as good as IPS.
http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00AX9Z6MU/?tag=pcpapi-20
It is really worth upping your budget by ten bucks to get this instead. It is an IPS with 5 ms response time, and will crush the BenQ in image quality. This is the best deal going at the moment for really cheap monitor.
http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00AZMLIWW/?tag=pcpapi-20
Do you want 1080p? Maybe an IPS monitor like this
http://www.amazon.com/dp/B009H0XQRS/?tag=pcpapi-20
That would start stretching the budget a bit, but there are cheaper options. This one looks good as well. Cheaper, but isn't IPS.

Close enough to $100. EDIT: or this, if you want to trade a bit of IQ for a bit of responsiveness.
Why do you need HDMI? You can use a passive HDMI->DVI cable or an adapter if you're outputting from a source with only HDMI.

Check out this monitor! I got one the other day and it's really good for the price. Does DVI-D and it's game worthy. Also, it's 1080p.
I've got a BenQ GW2255 and I really like it.
Just a recommendation for the monitor, it'll save you a bit. Basically the same except no sound and 6ms response time instead of 1ms(5ms won't make a difference, would it? I'm new to PC)

Nice build though, good luck!
Even with a relative cheap monitor like:

the difference from a TV can be huge due to the whole display being designed for gaming. The 1ms input lag alone can make a big difference.

Not sure if the right place but everyone seems very knowledgeable.
So i'm looking for a new monitor with a budget of around £150. I'm either look at one the budget BenQ's like this or This.
I've also been looking at 2nd hand monitors on eBay and can pick up a BenQ XL2410T for the same price.
Obviously I would prefer 120/144Hz as I plan to use it for gaming but what are your thoughts on getting an older, 2nd hand monitor. Any advice would be amazing. Thanks!
First of all thanks for the list :D would love to add a 500gb+ HDD to that setup and a monitor is kinda to big for me / my desk :D + OS is missing in your list :D i thought about http://www.amazon.de/BenQ-RL2455HM-LED-Monitor-Reaktionszeit-schwarz/dp/B00CFFFGUM/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1409044715&amp;sr=8-1&amp;keywords=benq+monitor

I use this one with my xb1, but the 27" version
https://www.amazon.co.uk/BenQ-RL2455HM-e-Sports-eQualiser-Flicker-free/dp/B00CFFFGUM
I did some searching to find the best settings for it too. Once I got used to it I tweaked the settings to my likings.
This is the one I just got
There's this one as well
Found it, thanks :)
edit went up in price :(
You should go for something like this http://www.amazon.co.uk/BenQ-RL2455HM-inch-Gaming-Monitor/dp/B00CFFFGUM . Full HD and has speakers.
Edit. Also tiny input lag.
How does that change if I run games at Fulscreen Borderless? Coz you mentioned to run the game at fullscreen. I tried moving rapidly left to right and still nothing life changing to be honest.

Well you're at ~£650 at the moment, for an extra £50 you could get this BenQ monitor, it's 1ms response rate and 24" for only £40 more than your current pick.

Thank you everyone for your help and suggestions. This is why I love /r/xboxone
If you are coming here with a similar question and wondering what everyone has suggested, this appears to be the winner and the one I will be purchasing:

BenQ rl2455hm
Well i sad down and collected all the stuff together on Amazon.co.uk that /u/romanion recommended me to buy and found this monitor:
http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B00CFFFGUM/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?ie=UTF8&amp;psc=1&amp;smid=A3P5ROKL5A1OLE
But yeah the monitor situation is though because it's breaking my budget. Over all price with the monitor is 575uk-pound
Another point to note is that when playing on big TVs your eyes can't take in the whole screen so you'll react far slower to anything that happens around the peripheries. When I switched from my big flatscreen TV to a 24" BenQ gaming monitor, my k/d improved significantly. I totally recommend this bad boy - http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B00CFFFGUM
http://www.amazon.com/BenQ-RL2460HT-Console-Gaming-Monitor/dp/B00ITORJRQ#
There is the monitor that I use with my PS4. It is a BenQ and features many extras besides a 1ms grey-to-grey response time. It's $209 so, not expensive.
My favorite features with my monitor:
FPS Mode, you obviously select this for Black Ops 3. It enables the first-person shooter features within the options.
Black Equalizer, which brightens dark areas without washing out the overall brightness. Making it easier to see players hiding in corners.
Instant Mode, this automatically turns on with FPS Mode. Does what it sounds like it should.
Low Blue Light, is like wearing a pair of Gunners. Helps reduce eye strain.
AMA, I forget what this stands for but I know for a fact that you want it set to High and not Premium.
HDMI RGB PC Range, make sure you change this from RGB(16-235) to RGB(0-255) no matter what monitor you decide to get. And on your PS4 Sound and Screen settings, within the Video Output Settings, change your RGB Range to Full! This will give you more colors to work with, resulting in a better overall picture.
HDMI Out, yes it has an output HDMI port for streaming. One less cable, and less delay. Cool, right?
Hope this helps. If you have any questions, ask.

But I would just buy another VG248QE and just set it @ 60hz. Those are nice 1080p monitors
BenQ RL2460HT 24-Inch 1ms GTG with HDMI Out ZeroFlicker 2x HDMI LED-Lit Monitor https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00ITORJRQ/ref=cm_sw_r_awd_10yzub0FSCNRR
There is this one also but to my understanding the only notable difference is that this has HDMI out to use for capture cards? Which I will not use
You are placing to much value and very low quality parts (headphone jack and speakers) monitors come with. Monitors within your price range which can be rotated use TN panels which look horrible when rotated=no point.
The HP 23 Envy has built in Beats speakers which are better than the horrible speakers monitors usually come with and uses a glossy IPS panel with much better colours and viewing angles than TN panels.
http://www.shopbot.ca/pp-hp-envy-23-hp-price-456217.html
If you really want a height adjustable stand, you can buy a BenQ TN panel, but it will look awful when rotated:

Both will work perfectly with consoles, however, if connecting to a laptop with a Nvidia gpu via HDMI, you will need to use a patch to fix the colours:

Not sure how others use the LGP tbh. I have a Benq with an hdmi out which goes straight into my LGP for no hassle. I know Gimr uses a Blackmagic Intensity Shuttle (USB 3.0 or thunderbolt) to convert component source to composite for play on a regular tv, though not using it for direct capture.

Good bang for buck.

That's the monitor I use. It's a total babe. The black equalizer is incredible.
I'd really reccomend BenQ's, they're great if you like monitors with sturdy stands and tons of embedded customization settings. I have their XL2411 24", a 144HZ 1ms monitor by them.
Here's their 60Hz 1ms monitors on Amazon.
Lower Response Time and Input Lag on Monitors. Unless you plan on playing Competitively in Multiplayer it isn't really necessary.
Also, 20in is a bit small, 24in and 27in are usually the preferred. I reccomend the Asus VX248 (I have it) or the BenQ RL2460HT.
BenQ RL2460HT 24-inch 1ms (300$ - 80$ = 220$)

Thanks so much for the responses everyone. I sincerely appreciate it. I actually wasn't expecting to get serious replies to my problem, and almost thought it might get deleted.
I ended up buying this BenQ monitor after looking into the brand from the list on displaylag.com
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00ITORJRQ/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&amp;psc=1
and I do have this one that I want to get replaced but i am probably going to sell it for more than you are willing to pay

I've been looking myself since one of my monitors went out a month or so ago. 144hz for gaming (especially FPS) is much more important than a 2k or 4k monitor. I'm not sure what screen size you want, personally I am looking for a 27".
Acer, 2k, 144hz, 27", Adaptive Sync Cheapest price I have seen for this type of monitor recently.
AOC, 144hz, 27" I don't have any experience with this brand, but this is a pretty solid deal, monitor has an adjustable stand as well as USB ports.
However, if $300 breaks the bank you will want to look specifically at 24" 144hz monitors. Generally you can get them for about 50-100$ less.
AOC, 144hz, 24", Free Sync
I just finished my first (budget) build. I'm really happy with it, but I could use some help with monitors as it's something I know very, very little about. I'll throw up the pertinent bits of my build below, but I was wondering - which monitor (or monitors) would y'all suggest?
I don't play super fast-paced, competitive games like CS:GO - it's just never been my thing. I mainly stick with RPGs - Skyrim, Witcher, Dark Souls, WoW, Hearthstone, some SupCom and Starcraft, etc. I do occasionally play League and Paragon with friends, but MOBAs aren't super high on my list.
I was looking at this Curved Samsung 27" or this AOC 27". Right now I'm using two old 22" hand-me-down monitors (one of them is actually a small tv from like 2009 that's only 720p). I'm fine using them, the monitor itself is good quality but it's still years old. My rationale is I'd like to get one really good monitor as that's what I'll have my game on and I can use one of these older ones for the second monitor to hold mumble, chrome, spotify, etc. That being said, I'm not opposed to two good monitors. I'm looking to spend at most about $350.
Thanks in advance for any help!

You'll have to scour to find a 1440p 144hz for cheap though. I've found a few good deal on amazon warehouse (could be sketch) and best buy open box.
Hmm, well I have two of these monitors from AOC. They have treated me well and have a lot of features for the price. They also occasionally go on sale for $50 off of their normal price! :D
4k/60hz: Samsung U28E590D
1080p/144hz: AOC G2770PQU
1440p/144hz: MSI MAG27CQ
what about these? do you think it worth the extra? im not so tight on the budget so spending a little extra for a better monitor is an option.
i assume that for games like csgo and rust since im pretty sure ill get around 60 fps on the more demanding games like bf, can u confirm?

I guess it didn't post the link to the monitor, sorry!
anyway, heres the link to it http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00L8LTB3W/ref=mp_s_a_1_5?qid=1417455323&amp;sr=1-5&amp;pi=AC_SX110_SY165_QL70
First of all, take 144hz out of the equation. if you're gonna do multi screen as a student like i do (4 Screens 23-27", student for 7years).
Based on my personal opinion, you don't need niether if you're gonna be doing .PDFs and a few tabs here and there. And the low resolution isn't the issue. You might need a better quality screen and then you'd adjust the Font size to relate to your eye sight but never will you need 1440 solely for pdfs on such a small dimension(27)
My screen is 27" 1080 144hz here and i used to use it to write things like 5 pages in 2-3hours on 300-400level.(but then it would fatigue you out if you don't dim everything to absolute darkness)
If you want the possibility of gaming in the future and you are genuinely ticked off at the 1080p for some reason i'd just stick with a 1440p
144hz isn't also a major necessity unless, again your pc can handle games that support that frame rate.
All in all, i really think 1440 and 4k are overboard.
Also, as unintuitive as it may sound, having 23-25" are way better suited for that kind of work (writing, reading) than 27".
I use 27 mainly for gaming and netflix and the lower dimension screens for read, write.
That is a very good point. I am sorry to keep bothering you but I also stumbled across http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00L8LTB3W?keywords=aoc%20g2770&amp;qid=1452527593&amp;ref_=sr_1_1&amp;sr=8-1
A little more than I wanted to pay, but as someone that misses the smoothness of CRTs, 144hz and pricepoint seems appealing.

Alright, changed a few things.
I'm no expert in coolers really, but I've always heard that noctua ones are the best air coolers out there, while corsair usually has the most popular AIO water coolers, so you could start you research from this (example of corsair water cooler)
I put in a better mobo which should, in theory, be more reliable (although I'm not sure that's true. Some people claim that ASRock mobos are not as reliable as asus, msi or gygabyte ones since they cost less, while others claim that they don't give any problem. Not sure where the truth lies. Anyway this asus one also as a few cool things, like auto-OC. Also keeps the usb 3.1 A and 3.1 C as the asrock mobo).
kb+m, added the best ones out there, your choice now (ps the corsair k70 costs 144 on amazon though, 187 with RGB. PCPartPicker has it wrong :/. The logitech g502 is also much cheaper)
As for the monitor it really depends on the gpu and on your needs. If you are ok with a 1080p panel and you want an nvidia gpu, get a good IPS panel and be done with it. (example 1, example 2, example 3).
G-Sync monitors are usually waaay to pricy. Seriously, nvidia should cut the shit down, it's stupid that you can't get a gsync monitor for under 500€...
If you instead go the red route, you can get a freesync monitor cheaply on amazon (but they usually aren't IPS). (example 1-75hz, example 2-144hz)
If you want a higher res panel, then you should get a 1440p one. Gaming at 4K is not really feasible IMHO, even with a gtx1080. (example 1, example 2)
If you do a lot of editing and stuff you could also be interested in a 21:9 monitor (example 1example 2, example 3)
edit: high end new gen amd cards come out this winter BTW. Check news for Vega architecture.
After some googling I also found this, seems not bad, and even cheaper!
Thanks, I'll take a look!
Now I'm comparing the XF240H to this G2460VQ6 which is £50 less, but I suppose I might as well get an IPS monitor 75hz if I'm not going for 144hz!
Is it worth getting the 144hz monitor with a RX580?
Both of these monitors are the same price atm:

I like both, and i have a gtx 980 so im wondering which i should pick?
https://www.amazon.co.uk/AOC-Monitor-Response-Adaptive-G2460VQ6/dp/B015510R4M 115 pounds but a great monitor. 1ms, displayport, hdmi with cables included. Using it right now and works like a charm for me. A little higher than your price point but a great monitor. There is also a 22 inch of this that you might like altough i cant find it on amazon
this good for a replacement?
Woah. Thank you. This was very comprehensive guide. Prices in Spain are usually a bit more expensive, specially the monitors. RAM is quite well priced, I could lower the price to aroud 60$ pero 16GB if I purchase a lower brand.
And, yes, the computer will be used for gaming (also for work but I don't require anything special). I feel that point 3 is for FPS and MOBA like games, which I'm not very fan of, so I'll look into response time and refresh rates.
I've checked the Asus VG248QE and really liked it. Is ranging at 270€ but considering the feautures I'm almost sold. The other 2 ones are ranging a 700€ here, they're out of the cuestión.
This one, AOC G2460VQ6, recently got on sale so I can get it for around 150€. It has same resolution and 1ms response time but a much lower refresh rate of 83Hz(?). This one is Free-Sync compatible and since I have a Nvidia will be unused, but I dont mind taking and AMD once the next gen hits. I'll have to think this out, since its a 120€ difference, but the Asus seems so much better.

HP Omen 32"
Best deal I have seen on a monitor in a long time:
https://www.amazon.com/OMEN-HP-32-inch-QHD-Display/dp/B01J90PKPG/ref=sr_1_6?s=pc&amp;ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1485784121&amp;sr=1-6&amp;keywords=HP+Omen
If you're not dead set on 144 hz, I'd highly recommend This HP Omen 32".
I got one for my build I did about 6 months ago and it's amazing. 75 hz is plenty good for me and the 1440p resolution on a screen that big makes everything beautiful. So, for an extra $50 you can get almost twice the sreen surface area and 75 hz which is still really nice.
This one has good reviews and you can get it pretty cheap refurbished
https://www.amazon.com/OMEN-HP-32-inch-QHD-Display/dp/B01J90PKPG/
Chiming in as someone who was in a similar boat (1080 instead of 1070), I just pulled the trigger on the
HP Omen 32". 1440p, 75hz. Hoping it'll live up to the reputation in terms of resolution and color.
What sold me was realizing all the negative reviews are for the 35" ultrawide. Since Amazon has mixed the reviews together, it makes the 32 look meh and the 35 look great.
Annoying
For those requirements, I like the HP Omen 32 (the original one). 32", 2560x1440, 75Hz refresh, AMD Freesync. Can be had for just under $400 on Amazon.
> One is HP Omen which is an all in one computer and not a monitor.
BTW the Omen is a monitor not a full computer https://www.amazon.com/OMEN-HP-32-inch-QHD-Display/dp/B01J90PKPG
There have been good deals at Costco for it as well.
Hey, First time builder. I am starting to look at BAPC and decided to just start taking a look at monitors. Looks like there are so many choices that it seems best to get this out of the way. Anywho, Im just looking to see how realistic my search is for a sexy monitor at a decent price:
Other than these aesthetics, Im not sure what else to look for...
Purpose of the PC will be casual gaming, light productivity, watching shows. Id love to find something around $200. But I would go up to $400. (This might be overkill considering the PC budget will be $800-1000ish, If I can make it 4k compatible with decent FPS at this price point)
Tell me whats wrong with these examples:
Assuming low response time and not 4k?
Is 60hz RR any good?
Lastly, 5ms RT when many monitors have 1ms?
I might just be over thinking it all but please let me know how my expectations are and if any example is actually a good monitor.
Thanks for reading =D
509 on amazon. I can't find a better deal for this monitor.
You might look at 2k instead for this screen size because you'll get a more familiar looking desktop, as far as pixle density:

It's nice to have, and I'm thinking I'll mount it in my case or maybe create a stand for it at some point.. Not sure
For mine I used one of these screens, just connected with a right angle, thin HDMI cable running out the back of the computer into the graphics card. The HDMI powers it. I made a bezel for it out of an old DVD case. I made the mount for it out of an old 2.5" HDD bracket screwed onto the 2.5" SSD mount that came with the case. I'm using HWInfo for monitoring and using a rainmeter skin called SimplePerfMeters
I couldn't figure out a good way to attach it directly to the 2.5" drive holder, which is why I used two screwed together to give me a nice surface to attach it with double sided tape (this stuff)
I got it off of amazon. Something similar to this one.

It's this display, and I 3d printed the mount for it to match my case and fit inside a HDD mount.
Sorry, original comment got removed because it broke a rule. This one should be OK.
&#x200B;
I actually got my inspiration from a guy with the same case as yours. It might be worth checking out.
&#x200B;
This is the screen I got. It's 37 USD.

&#x200B;
However, the guy in the video uses this one. And it looks like it's much easier to install. But it's also 55 USD.

The second one I linked, also has side connectors for USB power and HDMI. Makes it look cleaner in your scenario, where there's a cutout to the right of the SSD mount, for easy cable routing :)

Yea here's the link. if you read the notes the seller posted, some screens can be powered by the hdmi. Idk if the seller has 2 different versions.

BTW the 5" screen I got is powered via the HDMI and no need for the USB cable.

Here you go. The prices for a lot of parts went up today. I think companies are marking up prices to get ready for Black Friday and Cyber Monday. I am 90% sure you will get this build under $2000 if they go on sale. I spent $200 over your budget. If that is a problem you can downgrade the 1440p 144hz 1ms monitor to a [1ms 1440p 60hz monitor] (https://www.amazon.com/BenQ-GL2706PQ-Black-Gaming-Monitor/dp/B06XDQ2RRQ/ref=sr_1_4?s=electronics&amp;ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1510870349&amp;sr=1-4&amp;keywords=1440p+monitor&amp;dpID=41RSV7QVO9L&amp;preST=_SX300_QL70_&amp;dpSrc=srch) or a [144hz 1080p 1ms monitor] (https://www.amazon.com/VG248QE-1920x1080-144Hz-Gaming-Monitor/dp/B00B2HH7G0/ref=sr_1_2?s=electronics&amp;ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1510870238&amp;sr=1-2&amp;keywords=1080p+144hz+1ms&amp;dpID=51vaAMnyuSL&amp;preST=_SX300_QL70_&amp;dpSrc=srch).
PCPartPicker part list / Price breakdown by merchant. The cooler should be good enough if you decide to overclock but I did not put liquid cooling since you don't know how to overclock. The CPU cooler should be good enough for moderate overclocking and I only suggest you get liquid cooling if you learn how to overclock or find a really good deal. (liquid cooling is expensive af)

Also if you want you could upgrade the GPU to a [GTX 1080 TI] (https://www.amazon.com/EVGA-Optimized-Interlaced-Graphics-11G-P4-6393-KR/dp/B06Y11DFZ3/ref=sr_1_2?s=electronics&amp;ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1510870489&amp;sr=1-2&amp;keywords=gtx+1080ti&amp;dpID=518eCm%252BMQ0L&amp;preST=_SY300_QL70_&amp;dpSrc=srch) which will last you for 4-5 years estimated. I don't really recommend getting a GTX 1080 TI unless you plan to do 4k gaming or if you can find one for really cheap during the sales.
BenQ GL2706PQ is 60hz TN. I'd pick ViewSonic VA2719-2K-SMHD 60hz IPS.

That is what I would recommend. Has everything you mentioned at a reasonable price. Only downside in my opinion is it doesn't use an IPS panel
take a look at this one:
https://www.amazon.com/BenQ-GL2706PQ-Black-Gaming-Monitor/dp/B06XDQ2RRQ/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_product_top?ie=UTF8
it's a great budget monitor if you're happy staying at 60hz. sounds like you're more concerned about graphics quality/resolution, so im not sure a 1080 could reach 100+ fps on AAA games anyway (with high graphic settings). i wouldn't recommend getting anything smaller than 27 inches for 1440p. note that it's a TN panel, so color accuracy and viewing angles won't be as good as va/ips. but VA and IPS panels will increase the cost, most likely beyond your current budget.
This 1440p is $100 less although you may be better off with this 1080p monitor as it has 144hz and wouldn't bottleneck the 2070 too bad.
How about the BenQ GW2765HT instead of the BenQ GL2706PQ? It is IPS.
If I were to get a 1440p monitor I would get a 1440p 144hz one. I have links for both types below:
Benq 1440p, 144hz
Benq 1440p
The 144hz 1440p one is on sale right now for a pretty good price.
But Ive been looking at this one

Ha, point taken about the overclocking/PSU. I updated build with the H500 case and a dialed down PSU. What GPU would you recommend?
Or, this monitor fees like an affordable option for 1440p. It seems like the jump from 1080 to 1440 would be noticeable (aka very pleasing to me lol).

This monitor Would pair great with that build, would work for gaming and its cheaper then the monitor you posted.
I have been running 2 1080 and one 1440 monitor for a while now and I have never had any problem with my 1060 6gb I have it slightly overclocked but nothing crazy. I use a tv as my 4K just for Netflix YouTube etc. when I’m in bed but I would recommend the Ben q 27inch monitor it’s only around 250-280 on Amazon.

Hey, The_MonBear,
&#x200B;
https://pcpartpicker.com/list/Ffhb3b Will provide you with a PC that is compatible with and without your hypothetical 980TI, and will also have an SSD in case the one you use for your Xbox does not have matching connectors or SATA ports (don't know why, but some add-ons are strange and are incompatible with certain setups.) It also provides a setup that is very clean are cable-management friendly, as I have friends who have used this case in similar mid-range builds.
If you want, I included a reliable Flash drive for transferring files and booting a copy of windows off of.
If you need to have a more in-depth guide on your building process that uses near-identical components t this PC, I recommend Joey delgado's Ryzen 5 2600 build ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=98ujnl1_hW0)
&#x200B;
The 580 and the 980Ti have very similar performance outputs, but depending on your budget and your card type, buy a free sync monitor (AMD GPU but about +$50 per 60/144/240 Hz increase) or G-sync (Nvidia but a ~$200 + every 60/144/240 Hz upgrade)
A 1440p 144Hz monitor would not fit in your budget, as it would make your build $1100+ save it be some very unreliable purchases. If you want any monitors I have a few I'd recommend:
&#x200B;
1080p 75Hz: https://www.amazon.com/Sceptre-E248W-19203R-Monitor-Speakers-Metallic/dp/B0773ZY26F/ref=sr_1_1_sspa?keywords=1080p+to+hz+monitor&qid=1556595028&s=gateway&sr=8-1-spons&psc=1
1080p 144Hz: https://www.amazon.com/BenQ-Response-Equalizer-Vibrance-Adjustable/dp/B01H5KKQTM/ref=sr_1_3?keywords=1080p+to+hz+monitor&qid=1556595028&s=gateway&sr=8-3
1440p 60Hz: https://www.amazon.com/BenQ-GL2706PQ-Black-Gaming-Monitor/dp/B06XDQ2RRQ/ref=sr_1_1?keywords=1440p+60hz&qid=1556595119&s=gateway&sr=8-1
&#x200B;
You can use windows without a product key, you just will have a watermark in the right-hand corner of the screen at all times. if you NEED a product key, I recommend you use a reputable site that someone else or yourself may research, otherwise you just have watermarked windows with fewer customization options.
&#x200B;
Hope you find this build guide very helpful!

I recently got the LG 24GM79G-B. It's supposed to have the best colour quality of any of the budget panels.
Here is the review for the last gen model: http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/lg-24gm77-gaming-monitor,4082.html
I picked it up for $299 CAD. $249 in the US.
Lg 24GM79G-B is a good monitor to check out. Hits all the basic check points.
https://www.amazon.com/LG-24GM79G-B-24-Inch-Monitor-Reduction/dp/B06XFGTGC4
but the xl2411 is also good too.
There isn't any IPS 144hz monitors @ 1080p beside's
LG 34UC79G-B ultrawide
Any i also suggest you stay away from VA panels. While they will provide much better colors than TN panels, their response time is terrible which leads to ghosting and blurring.
I've been looking for a 1080p 144hz monitor as well, and I've narrowed it down to these three based on comments I've seen here and over at r/monitors. This one is right at $250 https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01H5KKQTM/_encoding=UTF8?coliid=I1MT4461I8KY22&amp;colid=24KABRSIJ5HTT next two are $260 https://www.amazon.com/dp/B06XFGTGC4/_encoding=UTF8?coliid=I8799HMQP0DE6&amp;colid=24KABRSIJ5HTT https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01A0ZRR50/_encoding=UTF8?coliid=I1TP4832HD1WZO&amp;colid=24KABRSIJ5HTT
This is considered an excellent monitor if you are going to play competitively : https://www.amazon.in/LG-24GM79G-B-Reduction-FreeSyncTM-Stabilizer/dp/B06XFGTGC4/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1519774722&amp;sr=8-1&amp;keywords=lg+144hz
This is also very good but a little higher priced, comes with a VA panel which makes it miles better than TN panel for contrast ratio,colour and blacks: https://www.amazon.in/MSI-Optix-G24C-250nits-Display/dp/B072JZ66T3/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1519774819&amp;sr=8-2&amp;keywords=msi+144hz
(amazon prices could be higher than buying locally)
Thought on this
Thanks! With those stats, is there anything else to look for in terms of comparing monitors?
As I see a 24 inch LG thats $280
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B06XFGTGC4/?ref=r4m_udw_co_c_dd
vs.
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01A0ZRR50/ref=r4m_udw_co_ds_dd
that is $180 with a better response time?
You can have a look on this...its a bit over the budget but I have heard good reviews about it.

Go with ryzen 5 1600 and a b350 mobo. You'll save more money. And then you'll be able to buy a 144hz monitor. Like this one.

It's the cheapest one on amazon so there's cheaper versions than this. Look on primeabgb.com and mdcomputers.in. Or vedant computers.

https://www.amazon.com/LG-24GM79G-B-24-Inch-Monitor-Reduction/dp/B06XFGTGC4
it's only $20 more. This LG monitor is way better?
It's not on retail sale here anymore, Amazon is the only place u/Eyeballs9990 would be able to get it. It's cheaper if Eyeballs could get free shipping, otherwise it'll cost the same as the XG2401 at today's exchange rate.

This is also a decent option. It has motion blur reduction unlike the xg2401 and g2460pf.

With this build you could make use of 1080p 144Hz, 1440p 60Hz and if you want to future-proof your monitor even 1440p at 144Hz. Here is a list of monitors that would fit:
Sorry, it was a bit late as I was typing this. I've gone on PCPartpicker, and I've looked at a few options, just wondering what everyone here thought.
I currently have an RX480 8GB, will be building a new pc in the coming months and probably will be upgrading that to a GTX 1080/1180(or whatever the next gen is called).
The models I'm currently looking at are:
Asus MG248Q
LG 24GM79G-B
BenQ XL2411P
AOC G2460PF
I presently have one 1080p 60Hz 1ms refresh rate monitor that I will be keeping until a time comes when I can get a 3rd 144hz, but right now that's just not in the budget.
Of those 4 models, which would you pick?
Conversion rate has changed since I last checked (I checked GBP prices) but there is the Viotek GN34C for $529.99 and the Crossover 34U100 for $519. Both are 3440x1440 100Hz VA 1800R Freesync monitor using the same Samsung panel.
You can also get them on ebay from Korea if you want to gamble with the returns policy.
In the UK you can get the ElectriQ 34" 1440p for £329 ($459) which appears to be the same monitor as the Massdrop Vast but without the QA that you get from the Massdrop Vast.
If you don't need g-sync: https://www.amazon.ca/Optimized-VIOTEK-GN34C-Widescreen-Monitor/dp/B074G5G8FT/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1510639192&amp;sr=8-1&amp;keywords=gn34c
So I go with this one?
https://www.amazon.com/VIOTEK-GN34C-Curved-Widescreen-Monitor/dp/B074G5G8FT/ref=pd_sbs_147_2?_encoding=UTF8&amp;pd_rd_i=B074G5G8FT&amp;pd_rd_r=63Z2DG86TBEZNJXV44YG&amp;pd_rd_w=raqxQ&amp;pd_rd_wg=dm5eZ&amp;psc=1&amp;refRID=63Z2DG86TBEZNJXV44YG
How much you care about accurate color reproduction?
Like I said, if you don't care about gaming all the 3440x1440 might as well be the same monitor for you, outside of color calibration. So you're best off finding the one that currently has the lowest price (which changes because of sales)
I checked Amazon and if you don't mind refurb and a curved screen the cheapest listed is:
https://www.amazon.com/Acer-Widescreen-XR342CK-bmijpphz-Refurbished/dp/B06ZYMMX9J/ref=sr_1_3?s=pc&amp;ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1523639544&amp;sr=1-3&amp;keywords=3440+1440
If you don't mind smaller brand and curved screens there's this:
https://www.amazon.com/GN34C-Monitor-Widescreen-Definition-DisplayPort/dp/B074G5G8FT/ref=sr_1_6?s=pc&amp;ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1523639544&amp;sr=1-6&amp;keywords=3440+1440
And then the cheapest flat ultrawide they're selling from a larger brand is:
https://www.amazon.com/LG-34UM88C-P-34-Inch-21-UltraWide/dp/B01CDYB5CW/ref=sr_1_8?s=pc&amp;ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1523639544&amp;sr=1-8&amp;keywords=3440+1440
I don't love curved monitors for productivity. I'm constantly aware of some minor distortion when doing anything except playing games.
And people who haven't had flat monitors side by side with curved will say you have to move your head less, but that's not really true. You're saving maybe an inch of width on each side of the average curved monitor.
But curved is in, so most options are curved.
other option I see if you don't mind VA, you can get a viotek GN34C at 100 hz for $529
My aim improved immediately. It is a massive difference. No joke.
I had this monitor before:
https://www.amazon.com/Viotek-GN34C-Widescreen-Definition-DisplayPort/dp/B074G5G8FT
It apparently has a 100Hz refresh rate but I didn't really notice it. It felt like 60Hz to me.
I got this monitor instead:
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B071D6NGMH/ref=od_aui_detailpages00?ie=UTF8&amp;psc=1
Felt like I was downgrading because of the smaller res but it's still the default res for Fortnite... and man, the 244Hz makes a major difference.
I noticed it immediately. Just so buttery smooth... whereas my other monitor it felt like I was getting stutters and my mouse wasn't tracking very well. All I changed out was my monitor and it was night and day difference. If you search for refresh rate here you'll see other people with similar claims. It's crazy.
edit: just to note, you're going to need to be pulling 200fps average to really notice a difference though. If you're getting like 60-100fps then there's no point getting a 244Hz monitor.
I got this one
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B074G5G8FT/ref=cm_sw_r_sms_apap_3l2EA2Y2iLxPK
Is your graphics card Radeon or Nvidia?
Alright so if you're cheap like me, watch LTT, and want some bombass ultrawide action, I got a GN34C for 500$, which is 3440x1440, 100hz, VA panel, freesync, and curved. It's $530 at the time of this post on Amazon. Today is Wednesday, February 28, 2018.
This is kinda a cheapo monitor, but I haven't had any issues with it so far, although the viewing angles aren't anything special. I can get 100hz in most if not all games I play with a 1070, COD WWII nets me 100 when I have shadows, normal map, and specular map on low and putting AO to HemiAO (turning off reflections is nice too). In Siege I get around 100 most of the time with Temporal AA and LOD at low (my textures are at Ultra). In Doom I max everything on Vulkan. In Fortnite I get 100 with Shadows on medium, Effects on Low, and AO as low as possible (all of these settings were for my visibility however, and I don't know if I was getting 100 beforehand).
Also, for anyone who wants it, PM me and when I get around to it (I'm lazy so I might not do it immediately) I can send you the color profile and settings I am using.
There is also the cheaper versions of these monitors like the Viotek GN34C, or the almost out Pixio PX347c. Both go for $600 new.

Well, there's THIS option that gives you 3440x1440 (WQHD) at 100Hz OR if you want to drop down to 2560x1080, you can get 144Hz so, best of both worlds!

Not sure what you are smoking. Displayport 1.3 will be on 4k monitors, but they will leave it off tvs to prevent PC use of a tv as a monitor.

Take a look at this: https://www.amazon.com/AOC-AG271QX-Gaming-Monitor-144hz/dp/B00L8LTB3W/ref=sr_1_1?s=pc&amp;ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1494186592&amp;sr=1-1&amp;keywords=1440p%2B144hz&amp;th=1

I love 144 hz gaming, game changer! (Assume 120hz up counts)

I have a Viotek, it's a Korean off-brand but with reliable customer service and uses Samsung's VA panel. 1440p, 100hz, half the price of branded monitors (ie. Asus, Acer).
FPS/RTS Optimized VIOTEK GN34C 34” Curved Widescreen Gaming Monitor – 3440x1440p with 100Hz Refresh Rate (34" 1440p 100hz, Black) https://www.amazon.ca/dp/B074G5G8FT/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_EA7WzbDZGGR7Q
Don't buy this. It's older tech not even worth $460? I would pay most $350-375 honestly. I would get this one here https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B074G5G8FT/ref=ox_sc_act_title_3?smid=A1BVYXEL822RF0&amp;psc=1
It's ultra wide 34 inches near the same price and 100hz freesync.
I myself had 3 X34's and didn't like them that much... Some Korean 27+ are just as good. AND that one on Amazon I just linked is better.. It's in my opinion the best monitor for price right now next to the X34 and others released under the same panel.
Can anyone tell me if this one is better or not?
