I put together a system last a couple years back with a 4ghz Core i7 6700k processor 16gb ram, 750 watt power supply, pair of Samsung m.2 SSDs, and an NVidia GTX 970 graphics board.
Due to a big hutch on the back of the desk I've had for 20+ years I was limited on my choice of monitors. A few years back I was able to wedge in an HP 23bw, but anything bigger's been out of the question.
I'm starting to have intermittent issues with my screen and I think it's time to get something new. Fortunately I have a new desk with a flat surface that can hold whatever monitor I'd like. I'm kind of thinking about going a little bigger. Maybe the 25"-27" range. Nothing bigger than that, definitely don't need anything bigger.
If I go that big am I going to want to stay with 1080p, or am I better off with 1440? I don't want my text to look pixelated, but also don't want it so tiny I have to squint. Also, If I step up to 1440p I'm probably going to need a higher end video card. RTX 2070 maybe? I don't mind spending the money for something fairly good as I'll be using it for at least a 2-3 years probably.
Most of my time is poring over documents and images for work, but I do kick back a bit to play a few games Mostly WoW or GTA 5, but who knows what I might start playing in the future. I'd like to have something that can handle my current stuff maxed out and at least be playable on future offerings.
Probably looking to spend a max of about $500 on the monitor and the same on video. That's not set in stone can go higher if need be but don't need the most extravagant setup. Something solid that looks nice.
