Best Monitor to buy for a MSI 1070 GAMING X?

[Warste]

Hello! im trying to change my monitor, ive an old one 22 inch 60hz and im "wasting" my gpu, but im not sure which monitor to get, im really tempted into getting a 1440p..

im considering the acer xg270hu or should i get an 1080p 144hz like the BenQ XL2430T?

which kind of monitor would you guys recommend for a rig with:

i7 6700k 4.5ghz
msi 1070 gaming x 2100mhz

?? Thanks!

Soooo a GTX 1070 is definitely a 1440P card so you are going to want a 1440P monitor or a 1080P Ultrawide screen monitor.

The question is how much $$$ do you have in your budget?

With a GTX1070 I would definitely strive to get a GSYNC compatible monitor. It should make a huge difference in your gaming experience.

For that rig i'd recommend any 144Hz monitor with G-Sync.
Either 1080 or 1440p should do great IF you have G-Sync.

If you cannot afford a G-Sync monitor, 1440p 60Hz is way to go or even a 1080 144Hz ( Which IMO is the safest bet, as the 1070 might not be able to max out any game in 1440p to maintain stable 60FPS. )

That's where the G-Sync comes in, you can get any 1440p monitor if you have G-Sync as it will stabilize the FPS with your Monitor's Hz providing a smooth image with whichever FPS you got while gaming.

What's your budget? We can recommend something if you give us some numbers 🙂

The thing is im from Argentina so not all the models are available here, the xg270hu for example its like 14500 Argentinian pesos like 915 dollars with all the taxes here.. so.. getting it with gsync might add another 300 dollars
