Monitor Pickings

[Remonix]

I am looking to build my first PC. https://pcpartpicker.com/user/Remonix/saved/

Would it be better for me to get a 1080p or a 1440p monitor. Also if I got either, what fps would I be able to put out

thanks!

you'd be getting over 100fps in most titles at 1080p and be getting arround 50-70 in 1440p with a GTX 1070 in my opinion since a monitor is something you keep for a while like I'm still using a old Emachines 720p VGA monitor on my spare PC in that I use in my room for web browsing and playing games when my office is cold, I would get the 1440p one since it would last a lot longer in terms of it being mainstream then a 1080p one and the cost of 1440p monitors have gone down quite a bit.

i have a 1070 and two 1440p monitors, i average more than 100FPS on almost all the games i play
you can turn setting down to get more fps if you want

 

i recommend 1440P
144hz if you can

[Remonix]

Any budgetish monitors you would recommend?

i really dont know, you might want to stick to 1080P in that price range

[Remonix]

So if I happen to find say a 75hz 1440p monitor, would you recommend that or a 144hz 1080p monitor?

[Cukumbermouth]

it really depends on what you would prefer and what types of games you play
fps games, fast paced games go 144hz
rpg games and story games (ones where refresh rate is not as important) 1440p

Alright thanks so much
