Between these two gaming monitors.

Which is the best one? I am getting a Radeon R9 Fury soon and I have an i5-6500 CPU right now so I should be able to run most games max. I've found two monitors I really like in my price range I would love input on. Between

1920x1080 looks grainy to me on a 27"; I would aim for 23-24" if you are picky about pixels being noticeable.

If you go for a 27" then 2560x1440 is what I would recommend, but it'll have an impact on game performance.

The Asus is IPS, which is not necessarily good for gaming, especially cheaper IPS panels are no competition for TN panels in terms of color and GTG times, which is 5ms on the Asus vs 1ms on the AOC. The GTG, if high, can cause ghosting, which is an annoyance when gaming. On the other hand, the Asus seems to be of better build quality and less 'generic' than the AOC. The AOC (TN) is brighter than the Asus. The AOC is 144hz, and at 1080p would be the best choice for gaming.
