monitor that would be smooth with 100+fps

[DR_N00B]

I'm getting a gtx 680 + 17 2700k, my friend has the same build and he gets really high fps in pretty much every game he plays (60-130fps, sometimes even higher). I am unsure weather to get a 60hz or 120hz monitor. I heard 120hz pretty much erases screen tearing when you get higher fps. (like 70-120) The only thing is, I have a budget of 2.4k and I already have $2138 towards my actual pc. Could someone help me find an 120hz 24" with hdmi that doesn't go over my budget? Preferably one that is in the $200 dollar range.

thanks for the help 😀

i've used nothing but 60hz screens and have NEVER seen screen tearing even at over 100fps. quite a few games now even limit your fps to fit your screen refresh rate so its a complete nonissue.

120hz screens are also all tn panels which are the worst of the lot imo.

all i can say is that you will want to stick with a major brand like dell, viewsonic, asus, acer, etc.

Found one with All the specs I want and more. 😀

however, I'll have to downgrade my cpu from an I7 2700k to an I5 2550k. But it's all good I could always overclock it

Well...

The primary difference between the Core i5 and i7 is that the i7 has Hyper Threading (HT). Games do not make use of HT so getting an i7 for a pure gaming PC would have been a waste of some money. So it's a good thing you decided to go with an i5.
