Question IPS, 144Hz, QHD for sub $400

[DNTLSS RNGR]

Hey guys, thanks for checking out my question. Hopefully it’s a good one for you ya.

I pretty much purely play League of Legends and I’ve been living the 60Hz life for way too long. I want an upgrade to the setup. I rock a now dated GTX 970 (If you need anymore information on the rig, just ask).

What I’m looking for for sub $400 (preferably around the 300 mark), placed in order of priority...

1. 144Hz+
2. G-Sync
3. IPS
4. QHD
5. 27 Inch

I am very out of the loop in terms of PC terminology and technology. I don’t really know what the difference is between G-Sync, G-Sync compatible and G-Sync Stable are. I’ve found a couple of monitors that I’ve liked but then I looked more into them and then I figured out that they had issues. I definitely definitely definitely want a 144Hz, G-Sync monitor but I will take the TN panel, FHD and 24 inches instead of IPS/VA, QHD and 27 inches. Please ask questions, I really want to upgrade soon, so list some questions and suggestion. Also, it would be great to understand the G-Sync differences. I’ll be here waiting! Thanks!

Monitors I’ve looked into...

1. Asus VG278Q
2. Dell S2417DG
3. Asus ROG Strix 27”

G-Sync compatible are freesync monitors that will work with nvidia cards.
League was designed to run on nearly anything. your fps will never drop below 144hz with that card. so the adaptive sync isn't as important for that game. if you play some of the newer ones i'd check them on gpu check. apex legends looks like it's right at the border on low.
