Ok Ive never bought a monitor before so hopefully there will be some good suggestions on here for a good gaming monitor.

This is my Setup:

-Intel Core i7-4770K
-GeForce GTX 770 4GB
-8gb ram

Im looking to get a good monitor I would like it to be at least 27inch, but 32inch+ is preferred, would like 1440p but 1080 is ok. my budget is around 600, since ill probably end up financing, Im just looking for best band for buck type deal, im not a extremely picky gamer, I dont need 1ms response.

Just wanting to know if its worth getting 1440 over 1080 and differences in 5ms vs 2ms visually?

here are some i was recently checking out:

Your GPU is not up for 1440p, but you can go for 2560x1080, if you want, both choices are great, decide on what AR you want and go for it.

With everything else being equal, you won't be able to notice difference between 5 and 2ms.

The widescreen is really nice, for gaming you can't beat G-sync though. I love my AOC G-sync @$450, complete game changer especially for BF4, felt like a new game/new computer. Is a 2nd 4gb 770 in your future, that would be in SLI.
