Help selecting GPU+Monitor [$1000 budget]

The Pizza Thief

Hi everyone,

 

after a faulty displayport cable killed my Asus 1440p 144hz G-sync monitor I'm in desperate need to buy a new monitor to game on, I would also like to take this opportunity to upgrade my old gtx 970 GPU, I was about to pull the plug on this card: https://www.evga.com/products/product.aspx?pn=08G-P4-3178-KR but then I realized after shipping and taxes it would be a little bit too much for my $1000 budget. Can you help me decide for the best Monitor + GPU combo for games such as Witcher 3, Cyberpunk 2077, Rocket League, CS:GO, Apex, Racing sims, etc. I would like to stay above 144Hz and if I can stay with G-sync/Freesync that'd be great.

 

TL;DR : Need 1 monitor and 1 GPU No more than $1000 combined. Live in California with no access to micro center.

Just get an RX 5700/XT with a 1440p 21:9 100hz display, just check the part picker, but custom cards are likely still out of stock right now.

I edit my posts a lot, Twitter is @LordStreetguru just don't ask PC questions there mostly...

What is your budget/country for your new PC?

 

what monitor resolution/refresh rate?

 

What games or other software do you need to run?

21:9 Is that an ultrawide? I've seen a trend going for ultra wide monitors do you recommend them ? I feel like they have issues with scaling and overall support, I also play competitively a lot and to be honest I've never seen a pro using ultrawide.

You could just get another 1440p 144hz display, but why not go bigger anyways?


Or you could get a 1080p 240hz display if you play a ton of first person shooter games.
