Still havent decided on a monitor.

I have these two in mind but if theres a better one, let me know.

Also, this is the same card as my computers, do you think it would be wise to buy it of amazon? Seems very cheap https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01KU2CIIY/ref=ox_sc_act_title_2?smid=A1KIUMPQ8ORDRD&psc=1
