Native resolution 1920x1080

quiet a beast you have there. I still would recommend the monitor I have selected, two of those would be great. I have one and it is great. Plus it is under the price you would pay.

 

[jinayhvora]

a single 1080p display would be good for that config, which u can get for 200$ max

do u know of any u would recommend that have a 1-3ms response times?

 

[jinayhvora]

this monitor has a refresh rate of 60 so if you had vsync then you would be able to play at a constant 60FPS.

this has a response time of 2ms which is pretty impressive.

It seems that no one has remenbered a monitor that supports 3D displays, for 3D display games such as crysis. And besides, you have to calculate the size of the monitor plus the resolution enabled, and then make the calculation for how much it represents. Always remenber, use the resolution most suitable for your graphical card. After that, there are more aspect to have in consideration such as truebright, led backlight, glossy(bright colours - inside) or matte(anti-reflection - outside). 500$ should be enough i think. Its up to you to do the research, and remenber when information is cheap, lack of attencion becomes expensive.


Cheers and good gaming.
