Literally any 1080p 120Hz screen will do, most are around the $200 mark just set your filters and look.

Note that nvidua surround won't work with different resolution so if he plays on 2 diff monitors it might not work

usually if you play surround you have 3 monitors

 

it just doesn't fill right having a bezel in the middle

was gana sent you a pic but my other mobo died and i cant have a second card

[Conaris]

OK so been looking as a few websites question is G sync worth it or should i just get a higher refresh monitor and have no issues? or am i miss understanding what G sync does? its slows your graphics card to match your screen refresh rate right?

 

Right now the  screens i think look great for spec/cost are

http://www.microcenter.com/product/472721/C24FG70_24_Gaming_Curved_Computer_Monitor

279.99

http://www.microcenter.com/product/463771/MG248Q_24_LED_Gaming_Monitor

259.99

http://www.microcenter.com/product/475413/Optix_G27C_Curved_LED_Widescreen_Gaming_Monitor

299.99

all 144Hz

love some opinions  i am doing a lot of research. before i buy anything for my new PC project.

my ten year old gaming rig i built is

I7 920 2.67GHz

3x4gb ddr3 tri-channel ram

and a 650 ti Geforce (only item iv upgraded over the years)

500gb 7200rpm HDD

new build in the planning

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/D2NDFd

was going to run Raid and go with RGB hue plus decided to change the plan due to i'm replacing my 60Hz 1080p Aoc basic monitors with 144HZ min

also might make the change to a Phanteks Enthoo Evolv ATX Glass case https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01F0KWL6A/?tag=pcpapi-20

just for the full Asus Aura look.

 

i do hope to get some more constructive feedback please tell me your honest feedback
