I curently have AOC e1621Swb at 1366x768 (i know its low res and bad monitor), now its broken...lot of dead pixel and led backlight bleed in every corner.

I'm planning to buy ASUS VS228DE at 1600x900 for gaming..I can't buy 1080p monitor....my budget is limited 100$

so this is my current setup :
- ASRocK H61 M-VS R2.0 ( lol cheap mobo :) )
- Intel i5 3570k
- Corsair DDR3 8GB
- Asus GTX 680 Direct CUII 4096Mb
- Corsair TX750 750Watt
- Windows 7 Ultimate 64Bit

i don't have problem running gta v at Max setting on 1366x768

the question is
1. will i have problem running gta v at max setting on 1600x900 monitor??
2. is it worth upgrading to 1600x900 monitor? or I should spend more and go to 1080p?
3. if i buy 1080p monitor can i play gta v at max settings with my pc spec?
4. is the 1600x900 quality really bad compared to 1080p? or 1600x900 just fine for gaming?

thanks before...and sorry for my bad english

aiming for max setting in gtav is a bit too optimistic however keeping AA disabled i think you will do just fine. keeping a lower res monitor just to be able to easily max out games isnt a good reason. on an average display of 20-24'' with full HD (1080p) panel you will get better image quality as you will have higher ppi(pixel pe inch) count.! anyway there are tons of games you can max out with your system at 1080p! why limit yourself!?
