What Monitor Should I Pair With This Build?

[sonicstormgaming]

So it's a gaming build obviously. I plan on making videos and editing them so I have the 16gbs of ram. I have a 970 for it's nice price point. I mostly plan single player games (Far Cry, Skyrim, Civ 5, Assassins Creed) and various others. But I also play Battlefield and other shooters.

So what I'm asking is should I get a 2k or 1920x1080 monitor? Which One?

An i7 might better suit your needs.

I would go with the FHD one. Because 2K will just mean less FPS in games. It's down to preference though.

Thanks for your input. Could you recommend a monitor for this?

Depends on your budget of course.

This one has a normal response time of 5ms. But since you aren't playing games that require you to be very quick, this is just fine.

It has IPS too, so the colors will be more vibrant. As well as improve the viewing angles. Of course you might want a bigger one,

I don't know. Here's another one, but it's much bigger.
