hey guys this is my build

https://pcpartpicker.com/user/Ghostllie/saved/gvDXLk

I'm looking for two monitors, dual for my pc and then one for console but that dont matter i need help with the pc ones, anyway with this build i definitely want to do high end gaming and have good looking games obviously and i want good monitors to show it off. I don't know what games i'll be playing in the future but i do currently and going to be playing a lot of h1z1, pubg, maybe some counter strike, and who knows what else. i will be doing editing for videos and minor photoshopping. idk if i need to say anything else but uh im just a noob when it comes to some things. i guess ill need to know the best way of having these hooked up, like i think display port is the best idk?

Unfortunately Robert, 2560x1440, 144Hz, and IPS generally means more expensive panels. Freesync instead of
G-sync is a little cheaper, but you'll loose adaptive sync ability with the 1080Ti, and is generally not that much cheaper (relatively).

Please note this is around a 27 inch screen size.

To get down to the $400-$500 dollar range, you'll generally be going to 2560x1440, IPS, and 60 Hz, and no adaptive sync. at that size.

You can go cheaper of course with lesser known brands at smaller sizes and giving up other features (such as going to TN instead of IPS).

While not a comprehensive list, you can look at some of the choices available at:

You need to decide what panel type 1st:

The following article goes into panel types:

https://pcmonitors.info/articles/lcd-panel-types-explored/

After that, you have to look at what refresh rates you want at what resolution, and can your video card handle that at detail levels acceptable to you. A 1080Ti can handle a lot, and can ALMOST do true 4k in many games at 60FPS, or more depending on the game. Some games will still struggle to reach 4k with all details on even with a 1080Ti. Unless you turn the details way down, you wont be reaching 144Hz refresh rates at 4k however, unless it is an extremely simple game.

Then you have to decide on a screen size, and aspect ratio. Common aspect ratios are 16:9 (most common) or 21:9 (gaining more ground in WIDEscreen gaming but not supported well by older software) Screen size is a personal choice based on viewing distance and how large you like your screen to be.

If going 4k, g-sync would be recommended for gaming, since if you drop below the native refresh rate of a monitor without it, refresh will be automatically be HALVED, which can be quite jarring in-game

DisplayPort is going to be your #1 connection choice, unless your display supports HDMI 2.0, as those are the highest bandwidith options.

for a lot of 144Hz monitor choices. You would need to research by reading reviews.

At the $400 mark, lots of people will have opinions. The ASUS PB278Q served me well when I had one, but is 60 Hz at 2560x1440, and often does need a little calibration out of the box (many guides online for this). It also has no adaptive sync.

what would you say about this monitor right here? https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01IOO4SGK/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER&th=1

The "rapid 1ms response time" will indicate a TN panel. This one isn't IPS. IPS currently will top out around 4ms Grey to Grey response times.

Toms actually has a review on that one, found here:

http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/dell-s2417dg-24-inch-165hz-g-sync-gaming-monitor,4788.html

I wouldn't use that one R/T the problems of color shifting /inversion in off angle viewing inherent in TN panels. You know your needs , uses, and budget better than I do however.
