I'm planning on building my first PC and I need an optimized monitor. The PCs focus is gaming & then incorporating streaming later on. Eventually, I plan to get two other 1080p monitors for Twitch chat, etc. My build consists of an ASUS Strix 1070 8GB OC. After reading a few other posts on here about monitor advice, I have narrowed my search.
1. My budget cannot go past $500 & that's pushing it.
2. I want a 27" 16:9 display
3. 1440p rez
4. IPS panel
I would also really like it to be G sync, but I know asking for more is pushing it. I just want a monitor that will fully take advantage of the 1070 card. And I would play a wide variety of games. If I would have to narrow that down I would say open world RPG games (Witcher 3, Skyrim, etc.) I would also like if the reasoning was explained. For instance, what is the best Hz & ms refresh rate to aim for with a 1070 running at 1440p? I know that the GPU will struggle at times & excel at others, so I'm not sure what features to give up to cut prices. Thanks for the help
