should I upgrade my monitor

[Alejandro Rayas]

so I have a new build being built right now with a gtx 970, but my monitor is only 1050p and it's about 4-5 years old granted it wasn't used for about 2 years https://www.google.com/shopping/product/5447602468367833991?q=hp+22+inch+monitor&espv=2&biw=1455&bih=723&bav=on.2,or.r_cp.r_qf.&ion=1&tch=1&ech=1&psi=u19NVO6kJ8H8igKcmYGwBA.1414357012975.3&ei=7F9NVOeSM-T7igL5yIGICQ&ved=0CNcFEKYrMAg
should I upgrade to a new 1080p or just ride it out until it dies?
btw I was thinking building another pc this year also for music production with FL Studio so this 1050p monitor would have a home
I'm on a slight budget of $300-400 dollars to spend on a monitor btw

I would go 1080P at 120-144Hz.

If your happy with that monitor resolution then their no reason to buy a new one.
If your gaming then a 1080p monitor or higher would make some difference if you play FPS games.

dont upgrade from 1050p to 1080...am i the only one who sees that as a waste?

lol yeah dont upgrade to a 1080p, that card can handle 1440p with EASE, upgrade to a 27" 1440p monitor

Edit: this monitor has good reviews on newegg

i know it's a little over budget but if you going to be upgrading you really should up grade to a 27" 1440p, 25" bare minimum
