New Display for my New Build

[Kami675]

Hello everyone I am currently looking to finally build my computer but I need a display to finish it off. I will post my pcpartpicker build down below. I am looking for something that isn't more than $500-$600 and is good for gaming(League of Legends, Rust, WoW, Ark, PoE, etc) as well as doing homework and watching videos/surfing the web. Here's my build:

Personally I would go with a 27" IPS 2560 x 1440p monitor. That setup you linked will be more then enough to push that resolution. I have put 2 links below. The first link is for all of the IPS 2560 x 1400p monitors on NewEgg. The 2nd link is for a sub $500 monitor that is a prime example of the kind of monitor I am talking about. All of the monitors on that list are 60Hz `4-12ms displays, with the exception of a few. The ones that are over 60Hz or have either G-Sync or FreeSync. All features that, are nice to have, but aren't really necessary in MMO's. I also made the list with only IPS panels. IPS panels have a better color range and color viewing angles. So the images you get are much richer then you would get with a TN panel. And obviously I am not saying you should buy the monitor from NewEgg, I just think their search results are much easier to search through then say Amazons and NewEgg also seems to give a lot more information about the products.

Also, the Two Monitors that RCFProd posted are very good choices as well. They are both IPS 2560 x 1400p panels but they are 144Hz.
