My budget for a monitor is about $200 or a little more. I will be buying a AMD Radeon HD 7970. I would like a touchscreen monitor for Windows 8, around the 27 inch range. I would like at least 1080p. What monitor should I get?

not at $200 for a touchscreen, unless you want like a 15 inch.

Touchscreen is still useless for a desktop. You will rarely use metro. Plus fingerprints and a glossy screen are a pain. I have w8 and only see metro when I first turn it on. If you want to mess with metro apps, I'd suggest a tablet. $200 is just enough for a 27" non touch. But I'd suggest you go with 24" if you go with 1080p.

Why should I go with a 24 inch if I go with a 1080p? If I get a 27 inch should i get a higher or lower resolution that 1080p?

The larger the screen the higher res you want, otherwise you have large distracting noticeable pixels. Just look at a tv, usually everyone has seen like 40+" 1080p. Go up close and you can easily see the pixels. But if you are close to a pc monitor with smaller pixels it's not so easy. You tend to be close to pc displays hence the need for higher res. You won't afford a 1440p monitor on that budget. A good 24" 1080p is ~$160. 1440p is going to be $500.

Yes, High resolution smaller screen makes PPI higher. so makes each pixels less noticable. But we should also remember that almost 99% website are usually made as per resolution, not screen size. they mostly target 1366x768/1280x1080 resolution as most monitors use this res. So, most websites' fonts are so small in my 22" 1080p monitor...
