Hello everybody,
I am planning to build a new PC for my work(mostly coding, and a little bit of Photoshop) and free-time gaming(GTA V,Just Cause 3 etc.).
Here is the Config:
CPU - Intel i7-6770k
M.B. - ASUS Maximus VIII Hero Z170
GPU - MSI GTX 970 4G Twin Frozr
CPU Cooler - CoolerMaster Hyper 212 Evo PLUS
Memory - G. Skill Ripjaws (2x8 GB) 3000 MHz
Case - Corsair Obsidian 750D AirFlow Edition
Power Supply - Corsair 850W Fully Modular
H.D. - WD 1TB 7200rpm

I am not able to decide which Display should i buy?
Should i go for 144Hz : Asus VG248QE,BenQ XL2430T
I read in reviews that 144Hz displays have TN-Panel so i would be loosing color quality.
So,Should i stick to 60Hz ?

Please suggest me a monitor that would be good for both work and gaming.
Any suggestion for config are also welcome.

Your main goal should be colors indeed if you work in Photoshop (like me) & if you work in coding too, I'd suggest you AH-IPS monitor (which is best with colors at this moment except oled [which are very expensive & doesn't worth the money]) with Ultrawide resolution. I have this monitor:

and I would recommend it. Besides it's AH-IPS panel based with nice colors, it's also very wide which will be helpful while working in programs like Photoshop, Illustrator... Also, it can rotate, so can have lots of vertical space (by your desire) while writing the code. It has very solid foot.
In gaming it's also very good, cause you get additional field of view. Here's advantage of 21:9 over 16:9...

P.S. I don't recommend you TN panel based monitor, especially with 144hz washed out colors. It won't be good for your work.
