I was going to say ROG Swift but the fact that I am using my sapphire  r9 290 to power a 1280x1024 4:3 perfect quadrilateral monitor from 5 years ago, my words should have no weight.

 

Edit: Oh did I mention that I had to spend 30 dollars to buy an active adapter to turn display port 1.2 to vga? Because apparently display port didn't exist 5 years ago.

have a look at the benq gaming series, as far as i know they have a 2k 144hz screen now which is pretty nice. For the info on display port there is not nuch to say the connector looks a little bit like hdmi, but locks in place, also there is a mini displayport connector which is physicalle the same as a thunderbolt connector. displayport 1.2 can run 4k at up to 60 hz and im not sure but i think 2k at144 hz. to compare hdmi can run 4k at only 30 hz which sucks for gaming. About the 120 and 144 hz monitores beware though that they are only available in tn panel format, wich meand not as good colours and viewing angles, but high refresh rates. the other option would be a ips panel, which i would prefere. They currently only run at max 60 hz but have better colours and viewing angles. If you play competetive thoug you should go for a tn panel for the high refresh rate...
