Looking for a gaming monitor

[ultimatethreat]

Hello there. I am looking for a gaming monitor for around $200-$300. My specs are i5 7600k and gtx 1060 3gb. My main game is PUBG. I get around 140 fps currently so I would like a 144hz monitor. My current monitor is actually an old 17 inch tv, it's total junk. I don't think I need gsync(as it's so expensive) but I've also heard about lightboost, do I need that? Thx for all suggestions.

popular and reliable.

I've looked at that one but it's older. Is there a newer one that's just as good? Or is that one still a very nice reliable monitor?

Still a solid monitor, then take a look at this one: https://pcpartpicker.com/product/zLkj4D/asus-vg278q-270-1920x1080-144hz-monitor-vg278q

So why is that one $35 more? I don't see any differences, other than being newer ig

Yeah, that's my point, I will get the older but cheaper one. New is usually more expensive, but not necessarily better, like Samsung MU series vs KU series.

What about this one: https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B01H5KKQTM/ref=mp_s_a_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1522942136&sr=8-1&pi=AC_SX236_SY340_FMwebp_QL65&keywords=XL2411P

Newer and cheaper

BenQ makes very good monitors too, you can't go wrong with either

Nvm the ED242QR Abidpx, the response time is a bit too slow.

could suggest you this one a bit expensive but at 144 hz even on hdmi https://www.amazon.ca/ViewSonic-XG2401-FreeSync-Monitor-DisplayPort/dp/B01A0ZRR50/ref=sr_1_11?s=pc&ie=UTF8&qid=1522944636&sr=1-11

Not AOC, quality is not that reliable.
