What monitor should i buy?

[Paradox122]

So im at the end phase of building my first gaming rig, and i wanted a monitor that will complement my build. I'm not really sure what i should look for when shopping for monitors so i was hoping you guys could give me some suggestions as to what is the best/most popular. I am also not looking to spend more than 200$.

Heres my build:

Ok first thing's first, DO NOT get an apu with a discrete gpu. Change your cpu to an actual cpu, not an amd apu. The fx 8320 is a much better choice for around the same price. You are actually just wasting money buying an apu with the rest of your build.

as far as a monitor goes, for around 200, asus makes a nice tn panel @60hz that looks fairly nice

Ugh nvm, you already have that, wasn't reading closely enough.

but the asus one that is listed in the first link is fairly nice, though personally i feel you usually want to spend over $200 on a monitor if you want something that is considered nice
