<500$ GPU & Monitor combo

Hey guys,

 

what GPU and monitor would you recommend for me? I am playing mainly e-sport titles and want to be able to hit 1080p60fps in those titles. I would appreciate Freesync and other features if they can fit in my budget.

 

Have a great day

 

J

If you have a used gpu seller look at that and my post below this.

Because used gpu sales can be supper good. Also with less than $500 in my area, I can get an r9 390x and a 1080p 144hz free sync gaming monitor.

In fact that is what I am going to do and then at Christmas I'm going to upgrade to Vega if I don't like the performance. If you can't find a used seller buy a gtx 1060 and a decent g-sync monitor. Then upgrade to Volta if you want more performance.

I just bought a LG - 25UM58-P and I love it though, I do need a small library under it due my size of 6'3". It is advertised as being 75hz but, you have to use a monitor oc program to run it at that speed. Either a RX 580 or 1060, do the research pick your poison basically.
