Monitor and GPU combo?

R9 290, R9 290X, GTX 780 or GTX 780 Ti and any Pixel Perfect 1440P Korean IPS monitor should do, though bottlenecking has the potential to occur in high-CPU load applications.

A minimum of gtx780 on nvidia or 290 on AMD.

 

Asus pb278q on the monitor.

 

EDIT* you also need a new cpu..and motherboard.

@uribin117 What I would recommend in your case then is to get a new Mobo and CPU and a second 680 to SLI... just my two cents

 

This is not the best solution, but probably the cheapest.

290/290x

 

 

Single 780Ti?

 

 

Also a new CPU.

 

 

Or that :D

 

 

Monitor and GPU combo?

R9 290, R9 290X, GTX 780 or GTX 780 Ti and any Pixel Perfect 1440P Korean IPS monitor should do, though bottlenecking has the potential to occur in high-CPU load applications.

Thank You!!

I might go with the 780Ti for the cpu FX 8350 8X and monitor here in Mexico is dificult to get deals from Korean monitors so i was thinking in the ASUS PB278QR

Maybe one option its upgrade CPU,MOBO and PSU another 680 

 

 

OR

 

 

Upgrade CPU and a 780Ti

I would strongly advice against 8350 unless you really can't get an i5.

With such a weakass CPU I would get an AMD card that can at least benefit from Mantle in some games, especially BF4. From some of the benchmarks I've seen the frame rate difference can be huge.

CPU: Ryzen 7 3700x,  MOBO: ASUS TUF X570 Gaming Pro wifi, CPU cooler: Noctua U12a RAM: Gskill Ripjaws V @3600mhz,  GPU: Asus Tuf RTX OC 3080 PSU: Seasonic Focus GX850 CASE: Lian Li Lancool 2 Mesh Storage: 500 GB Inland Premium M.2,  Sandisk Ultra Plus II 256 GB & 120 GB

they make 3 GB sticks of RAM?

 

A 1440p monitor's quite expensive, around $400. So the better thing to do would be to spend that money on upgrading your parts rather than your display. Your GPU is going to be a problem with 2 GB VRAM. Your CPU is going to bottleneck any card better than your current card. You would need to drop about $600 into your PC to be able to play at 1440p at any framerate above 30. And that's a conservative estimate. My guess is that you need to spend about $700 more. 6GB of RAM is not going to cut it either so you're looking at a new motherboard, at least an i5 CPU, an R9 290 for your graphics card because you will need 4GB of VRAM, and 2 more sticks of RAM to get up to at least 8 GB, and all of that together will be about $600 unless you find it used on eBay or something.

 

So upgrade your parts to get at least 100 frames at 1080p and then move on to a 1440p monitor because you will be getting around 60 frames there.

I get 60 frames at 1080p on a dual core APU. Ask me how.

AMD FX 8350 CPU / R9 280X GPU / Asus M5A97 LE R 2.0 motherboard / 8GB Kingston HyperX Blue 1600 RAM / 128G OCZ Vertex 4 SSD / 256G Crucial SSD / 2T WD Black HDD / 1T Seagate Barracude HDD / Antec Earthwatts 650W PSU / Coolermaster HAF 922 Case
