I found an HDMI monitor for https://pcpartpicker.com/product/6NGj4D/sceptre-monitor-e225w1920 (lol). So I was thinking, can I get away with using a HDMI monitor as my main display(Plan is only 1 monitor). Or should I have to have display port monitor? Planning for a new monitor for my new PC...... If its not possible, Can anyone find a display port monitor for under $100......

it only really matters when you go above 1080p @ 60Hz.    if you are using 1080p @ 60Hz you get almost any connection type can do the job.

Yeah see the problem is, That monitor doesn't have a Display Port and I really can't return it back after I buy it. BTW will I be able to enter the Bios with HDMI? Heard somewhere that you can't. :( BTW I don't plan on going above 1080p any time soon.
