Suck between g-sync and 27"

[Stingostanger]

Hi everyone. I'm looking for a 1440p 144hz monitor with a budget of around £450. I have found 2 from AOC

https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/aw/d/B01LLGLG7W/ref=psdcmw_428652031_t1_B01LT04C30
This one is only 24" which isn't exactly a problem, however has g-sync, and I am using an nvidea gpu.

This one is 27" but doesn't have g-sync.

For games such as CSGO, overwatch, ESO, Rainbow 6, etc, which monitor would you guys recommend?
Thanks

PC specs? If you have anything above a GTX 1060 (or AMD equivalent) paired with a good CPU, go for the first option. Producing 150+ frames in most of the games you listed is easy and that is where G-Sync is important.

That being said, don't even bother buying these monitors if you don't own a GTX 1080 or above for playing AAA games. GTX 1080 is minimum for 1440p (2k) at 100fps+ in almost all AAA games.

Considering buying this monitor (used).. It has the combination of both for almost the same price.

I own that monitor. It has horrible colors out of the box. You have to go to nvidia control panel to adjust them and that's when it looks beautiful. Still worth it since it's way cheaper for the same functions than the others.
