Guidance Required from the PCMR

[Nando Cael]

Hey! I was planning to make a new build for myself, but after choosing all the parts and peripherals for it, I now stumbled on which monitor to buy, since I don't know what's the best option out there. I'm building this system for gaming and for some work as well (with Unity and Unreal Engine 4).

My computer specs are as follows:

 

• Strix X370-F Ryzen 7 2700 16gb DDR4 3466MHz Corsair H115i Pro MSI RTX 2060 Gaming Z Seasonic Focus 650W 80+G 1TB M.2 2280 Crucial P1 NVMe PCI-E 3.0 x4 SSD  2TB 3.5" Seagate Barracuda 72000RPM 256MB SATA III
• https://pcpartpicker.com/user/Caeltha/saved/rJMGGX

Now my problem is that I'm stuck deciding which will be my main display, and I don't know what I should go for.

• 24.5" 144Hz 1920 x 1080 is around 190€;
• 27" 144Hz 1920 x 1080 is around 260€;
• 27" 144Hz 2560 x 1440 is around 400€;
• 23.8" 144Hz 2560 x 1440 is around 340€;
• 27" 75Hz 2560 x 1440 is around 250€

I don't know what I should opt for for my main display, if I go for the higher refresh rate, higher resolution or higher display size. Any help? ^^"

I contacted the store from where I'm buying the board, and they said they do the BIOS update for free, if needed, I should have mentioned that earlier, my bad.

I should also mention that I'm a retard and I meant X370 and not Z370

Z370 is for Intel, you've likely made a typo. If you didn't put a PCPartPicker.com list in your original post instead. Actually, put a PCpp list in the OP instead anyways, super convenient.

Personally I think 144Hz makes the biggest difference, since you only have a 2060 then I suggest a decently sized 1080p 144Hz display

I never experienced a 1440p monitor. Is the difference between 1440p and 1080p very noticeable? And the RTX 2060 doesn't provide a decent 1440p experience? If so, I might be going for the 1080p 144Hz 27".

1440p has far less of an impact than the buttery smooth refresh rate of 144Hz, especially in shooter games.
