Hi, I'm a first time in building a pc. I have a LG Flatron W1943TE-PF monitor from my old pc w/ 1366x768 resolution and some said that some games can't run it, do I need to buy new monitor ?
 
Solution
no you dont need new monitor

you just need to adjust video setting inside the game to fit your monitor resolution

most games even automaticly detect it as default

What kind of gpu do you have in your pc build? If its a decent gpu, maybe consider saving up for a 1080p monitor.

You have a better video card than me and I run 1440p, please for the love of pc gaming upgrade your monitor. Even the ps4 runs games at 1080p now. You deserve it with a PC build like that.
