AOC. Likely has better colors.

So I'm looking at these two monitors depending on which one too get they are both open box but unused.

 

However I need help on the decision due to my PC Specs which are in my signature. For the sake of scrolling: (also both are overclocked as far as I could get them to be 100% stable)

i7 7700K

GTX 1070 TI

 

The two monitors are:

Dell S2716DG TN Monitor 144HZ G-sync

or

AOC CQ32G1 31.5" Curved Frameless Gaming Monitor, QHD

 

Unless you have another recommended around $200- $300

Will I get the "full benefit" of it with my current system specs? It is quite big.

Size means nothing, only resolution matters.

You should be fine.
