Question Best GPU for 768p monitor?

[UrGrandpap]

I have a 768p monitor and not sure about upgrading to a 1080p one. I have ordered all my PC parts except the GPU. I want a card that can get 60 fps high settings in 768p. I was thinking about an RX 470/570 but thought it'd be overkill.

Q. Should I stay in 768p and get a good GPU to suit it or get a 1080p monitor and have the 470/570?

Specs:
CPU - R3 1200
MOBO - B450M HDV Micro ATX
RAM - 8GB (4GB x 2) 3000 MHz
Storage - 1 TB HDD & 120 GB SSD
Case - Cooler Master Masterbox Q300L MicroATX Mini Tower
PSU - Corsair 450W 80+ Bronze Certified

I'd get the RX 570 as it's s suitable GPU for both resolutions and a great choice for the price.

Ok sounds good then. Do you think I should stay with 768p or get a new 1080p monitor?

A new monitor would be a good idea but not necessary. 768p isn't going to give you the quality picture that a 1080p monitor will, but if the 768p monitor works for you there is no reason to not keep it. A 1080p monitor would just be better. So, this is mostly a judgement call that you have to make. I suggest looking for one that looks better than your current monitor in colors, contrast, and brightness. There are a lot of reasonable 1080p displays out there in the $120 range, sometimes less, and some actually look good. My suggestion is going to a store and actually looking at them if you can. Someplace like a BestBuy or Staples or other store that has a good selection of them. Then pick the one that looks best to you in your budget.

Stay with 768P for now until you can afford a nice 24" 1080P monitor with Freesync as that would help with any screen tearing or stuttering and keeps the gameplay smooth even if the FPS isn't stable. You can find them for like $120 (US).
