Just put together a new rig and need monitor info/recommendations. There's so much to consider and I don't want to over/under think it. IPS vs TN seems to be the biggest sticking point. I am a gamer, but will play more SP than MP. I'm a sucker for pretty graphics, so to sacrifice graphic fidelity for, say, response time---the difference in response time would have to be pretty significant. I currently have a 20" HP Pavillion, so I'm looking to go either 24 or 27". Need to keep it under $300.
Specs for my rig:
-i7 3770 3.4 (3.9) quad core CPU
-ASROCK Z77 Extreme4-M LGA mobo
-Sapphire Radeon HD 7950 3gb Vapor-X gpu
-8gb (2x4) Kingston Hyper-X DDR3 1600
-Corsair HX750 PSU
-2tb Barricuda 6gb/s 7200
-OCS Vector 128gb SSD
