[SOLVED] Help finding a good monitor

[FlamingoMan]

I recently made my first pc on pcpartpicker. I was wondering if it was good for the price and if I could get some help with finding a good monitor under $150.

You don't want that BR power supply. The rest of the build looks surprisingly good, for the budget, except for that PSU. Low quality. Won't last very long at all and doesn't meet the recommended capacity specs for the RX 570 anyhow, which is a minimum of a 500w unit. A GOOD 500w unit.

I'd do something like this:

Thank you! But why does the graphics card require a 500W Power Supply?

Because that is what is recommended for it if you want to avoid having problems with power delivery, especially if you don't buy an exceptional PSU. If you bought something like a Seasonic Focus plus gold unit you could probably get away, maybe, with something more like a 450w model, but you would be leaving yourself very little room for quiet operation of the PSU, a comfort zone for voltage spikes, out of spec current draw, etc.
