Graphics and Monitor help

[AdsStan]

Hello,so I was on the forums and got some help to finish my list of PC parts, well I have a low budget (£700) and I need a monitor what has a connection for my graphics card and a HDMI port for my Xbox/laptop but the Benq monitor I was looking at is the wrong model on the PC PartPicker site and I know nothing about graphics and monitor connections so I came here. So what I am asking of you is if you could help me find a cheep monitor what can run 1080p, has a 60Hz refresh rate and has a HDMI port and a connection for the graphics card.

If I add the case alone its over my budget

the r7 265 will do ok with current games,but you will soon not be able to play games with High settings,its best to go for the r9 280,but that's out of your budget,if possible at least get an r9 270(can play most games at 1080 maxed out)

Monitor: ASUS VH238H or ASUS VS238H-P. For now the 256 is good for 1080p gaming, if you have a bigger budget upgrade it.

What about this http://

 

[Yadhu]

you build seems solid now!(for current games).I personally would have gone for the r9 280(in which a better processor is also required so this is the best you can get)

just some minor changes(Msi twin frozer is a much better aftermarket cooler.its very silent and has a dust removal feature.very good for overclocking)

OK cool I will upgrade the setup in a few years time but the graphics card will last a long time so yh. Also one last question will DVI-D duel link or DVI-I Duel link work with DVI??

Yes, you just won't get the benefit of DVI-D if you use DVI-I.

so whats better about DVI-D Duel link?

ah ok i get it now but I still have a probelem with finding a monitor as i said before the benq i was looking at does not have the correct picture on the pc partpicker site and the specs are different to the ones on the benq main site.

search for review of the monitor they should give you the exact values

NEVER TRUST WHAT IS WRITTEN ON THE MANUFACTURES PAGE.they are notoriously known for just blabbing in any specs they want.look for a good review

try "http://www.blurbusters.com/"

i cannot find a review what tells me the specs of the monitor

its ok i have been searching about some online stores and went on the Argos site and searched for the BenQ GL2460HM and zoomed right in and saw that there was a DVI-D Duel link port so PC PartPicker has the wrong picture of the monitor.
