I would like to replace my old monitor with something newer. I think newer monitors can show much more of the game I am playing than old monitors. But I am new to this.
I am building an entirely new budget gaming PC - I want to make sure it will handle a bigger monitor. What monitors are a good value (I am broke)? What system specs would I need to be able to handle the new monitor?
Thanks!
