Hi I was looking for a really decent budget gaming monitor that would be good for a gtx 1070, since the current monitor I’m running is 60hz and it stutters quite a bit. Thanks

Budget for the monitor and what CPU do you have? Those are both important factors when contemplating high refresh-rate monitors. Also, as the guy has said above me... What games do you intend to play and what size monitor would you prefer. Or a better question for me to ask is, how close will you be sitting to the screen.

GPU: XFX RX 7900 XTX

CPU: Ryzen 7 7800X3D
