If you want the best frame rate, you'd aim for a lower resolution with a higher refresh rate.

 

What resolution did you want to play at?
I use 1920x1080 but I don't care for competition and play at 60 hz.

 

Some people like 4k, and others like ultrawide

I got a good deal on the 5900x that's the main reason I went that direction. Looking to spend less than 500 on monitor I will use it for mostly gaming warzone, f1, etc

Look hardware unboxed monitor round up videos. They do a ton of monitor reviews and know way more about what is out there and they do videos listing the best monitors for certain price ranges and usecases..
