I know there is a huge budget difference between the stated options, but I'm not quite ready to name a budget on this one yet- want to keep the options open. Let's say $650 or less, I can't imagine myself spending that or more- but it depends on what the draws are.
Here's my PC:
| Intel i5 750 | EVGA P55 SLI | EVGA GTX 770 SC 2GB | 2x4GB Ripjaws X 1600 | Intel 330 180GB | XFX 750W BE | CM Storm Sniper BE | CM V6 GT |
I'm currently using a 1920x1080 23" Asus 60 Hz display.
A couple of questions:
- Should I rule out 1440 IPS panels right away? They're both the priciest and my build doesn't entirely mesh with 1440 being my planned path, a 4GB GTX 770 would have been the better play in that case, no?
- If I stay at 1080p with a TN panel, I'd likely be getting an ASUS VG248QE for the lightboost hack.
- I'm ever so slightly leaning towards a 1920x1080 IPS panel, no exact model in mind. Is it dated to be looking at 1080p IPS panels?
Not that I don't play FPS titles, I do, but not as often as I play less twitch action-y titles, like MMOs and RPGs. I'd estimate the next batch of games I'm most interested in playing to be more like: Final Fantasy XIV: ARR, The Division, Witcher 3, ElderScrolls/Fallout, etc. and not so much in terms of competitive FPS titles.
I've also heard that 120Hz w/ Lightboost is not all that useful unless you are pulling 120fps or near 120 fps in card performance anyways. Well, in an MMO for example- that's just going to be incredibly unlikely in a real world situation (I get 50fps in crowded areas for FFXIV atm, with a high end card), I don't plan on SLI'ing my GTX 770 anytime in the near future. Perhaps I'm not the audience most suited for what appears to be a genuinely exciting buy for most gamers with the VG248QE?
Any thoughts/feedback appreciated.
