Gaming Monitor - Which to buy?

[Timbuktu87]

What is a good 27 inch 1440p monitor (60hz or 75hz) that I can buy for gaming at around 400-500 dollars cdn?

I plan on gaming mainly like gta v, etc and while I can not afford 144hz, 60hz should be fine for me.

What about this? ASUS PB277Q 27" ?

While the Asus you listed is ok, it's a TN panel. IPS is better.

Yup. But, if you haven't bought the 1080 uet, i totally recommend that you get a 1070 and a 144Hz monitor with G-Sync for the price difference. A good monitor is always teh best investment to make as it will last you several build, while teh GPU is actually thew worst as they get outdated teh fastest. And the 1070 does very well in 1440p. It's teh sweetspot card for it.

And yes, 144Hz AND G-Sync is worth givin up on IPS.

EDIT: Have a look at J_E_D_70's testimony in this thread: http://www.tomshardware.co.uk/forum/id-3117484/pls-understand-point-1440p-144hz.html

Ah, ok. Hmm, if you can push it and get that Dell, it would be awesome. Have a look at the edit of my previous post. Getting a great monitor is really merited.

Good monitor, but no G-Sync and 144Hz. Personally i will never buy another monitor wihtout Adaptive Sync technology.
