Need assistance choosing a monitor for CS:GO for my buddy

[Morgan MLGman]

So I'd like some advice about which monitor to pick, I assembled parts for a new gaming rig for my friend and still need to choose a good "gaming" monitor.

 

There are three choices, they cost around the same and assume that there are no other monitors in the world

All are 1ms response time, 144Hz refresh rate, 1080p resolution and they're 24" TN.

 

1. LG 24GM77-B (My favorite, I'd choose this one but I need to be sure it's the right choice cause my friend is a competitive CS:GO player)

2. BenQ ZOWIE XL2411

3. Acer Predator GN246HLBbid

 

Which would be the best for competitive FPS gaming and why?

 

FYI his soon-to-be specs:

CPU: AMD Ryzen R5 1600 (I'll OC it)

MOBO: MSI B350 TOMAHAWK

RAM: Corsair Vengeance LED 16GB 3000MHz

GPU: MSI GTX 1060 6GB Gaming X

PSU: XFX Pro 650W Core Edition

Case: Cooler Master Masterbox Lite 5 + 2x Corsair AF140 LED Quiet Edition

 

Those are final specs and I don't need recommendations on those, prices are all over the place (especially GPU ones) here in Poland and I picked the best parts based on value as the budget is already at its absolute limit.

 

Thanks for all your help

I don't think it matters at this point, I'd just get the cheapest since all the criteria has been met? he'll probably still play on 4:3 (easier to aim) at 300+fps, make sure to not have any sync at all (even FastSync will add a tiny bit of delay).

I'd stay away from it you know how this board 7 out 10 times can't OC the memory past 2666mhz.

Yeah, he's playing at a very low res so it'll be good  

 

So should I just pick the best one in terms of connectivity etc? That's the one I preferred then (LG).

 

We'll see about the motherboard, there's not much of a choice here and I need to keep it as cheap as possible due to the monitor taking a lot of the budget, I think I saw an MSI Pro Gaming B350 somewhere for not that much more, thanks

I'd go with the LG personally, I usually recommend avoiding the other two since they don't have DisplayPort.

I do love LG as you can see I have 3 29UM68-P and no regrets

 

as mentioned above it does seem the best option due to the additional support of D.P also the Pro Gaming does manage 2933mhz almost always so the memory would be well used, i do think it'd be worth because it'd be too frustrating get good ram just to see it not working on its full potential.

Thanks for your assistance guys, as I thought, the amount of ports is what made me favor the LG, it also look more stable and has well placed buttons  

 

I'll definitely take the motherboard suggestion into consideration as well  Marking as solved.
