Posted February 23, 2014 This is overkill for 1080P. Get to 1440P at least. Dual or Triple monitors also a consideration. Also consider color scheme. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted February 23, 2014 For a res/pump, use the XSPC Photon.

Posted February 23, 2014 Gaming, rendering video, mining, trying to get really high overclocks on graphics and cpu just to say I did. Alright mining on nvidia cards isn't a great idea, go for a R9 290 or 290x if you are wanting to mine.

Posted February 23, 2014 Can you suggest a good 1440p monitor, like 24-30 inches? You're not going to find a 1440p monitor less than 27 inches. Although the one I have is a very cheap 1440p monitor, I can say, I'd rather game at 1440p 60hz than 1080p 144hz. The extra resolution makes games look amazing!

Posted February 23, 2014 Can you suggest a good 1440p monitor, like 24-30 inches? There's always the option of buying one off of ebay, but it lacks features and reliability. Or you can spend a bit more and go for something like an Asus PB278Q or Dell U2713HM if you want more features and better reliability. Plus, you can overclock some monitors to exceed 60hz. I'm not a big fan of TN panels either and I'd say IPS is superior because of the better color reproduction and viewing angles. Either way, you'd be very happy. Once you see/use a 1440p monitor, you can't go back. I personally saw one on my last trip to microcenter and I can vouch for it. It's so beautiful :wub: .

That's why a lot of us don't recommend a 27 inch 1080p monitor, the pixels are just too large. Obviously with a TV it's different, because you are sitting back away from the screen.
