I have upgraded my PC and my last 2 pieces of the puzzle are the monitor and the GPU. my rig:
i5-6600K @ 4.5GHz
16GB DDR4 2400
Gigabyte Z170 Gaming 5
120GB SSD / 2TB HDD
GTX 660 2GB
27" BenQ 1080p/60Hz monitor (VGA/DVI/HDMI)
I am torned between the choice of Gsync vs Freesync. I have the budget for any part but that doesn't mean I have to throw money away and get the latest and greatest.
My question:
a) remain at 1080p gaming with a RX480 and a 23'' IPS 75Hz freesync monitor ( http://www.lg.com/hk_en/monitor/lg-23MP68VQ-P ) total cost: $470
b) make the jump to 1440p with a GTX 1070 and an ASUS Rog Swift PG278Q I can get from a friend for a discount. total cost: $900
I play both on console and PC. I have a projector for the PS4, so I don't really need to plug it to my monitor. The games that I play on PC are: WOW, Overwatch, CS:GO and Shadow of Mordor. I have never played above 60Hz and never owned an AMD card.
Is 1440p/144Hz/1ms worth the $430?
