Help me pick monitor for my new PC

[zspark85]

Hey, I am having trouble picking a monitor. I have look over amazon, newegg, and best buy and just cannot figure out what would be best. So here is a look at my PC specs, budget, and what I use my PC for:

My PC:
i5-6500
16GB memory
Geforce 950 graphics card

My Budget: $250 (maybe $300 if there is a great deal)

What I do:

I like to play games that are not super high intensity: Rocket League, Heroes of the Storm, Overwatch.

I would like to stick with 16:9 ratio and have at least 1920x1080 and 24" -27" range.

Thanks!

This is a 23" IPS 1080p @ 75Hz monitor that even has Freesync if you decide to upgrade your card to a RX480. is costs around $170 where I live you can sell your old card + the money you will be saving from a cheaper monitor and get a RX 480.

Monitor: Asus VE248H 24.0" Monitor ($140.98 @ Newegg)
Monitor: Asus VE248H 24.0" Monitor ($140.98 @ Newegg)
Total: $281.96

Run the game on primary, secondary is for things like wiki maps, directions, stats, monitors etc. 2 monitors makes life on a pc so much easier vrs a single monitor. I've been running dual monitors for years, I'll never go back to a single monitor. Even websurfing of research is easier, being able to compare full viewed pages etc running monitoring software while gaming and actually being able to see speeds, fps, temps etc.

I'd rather have 2x decent monitors than 1x great monitor anyday.
