HI,

I am in the market for buying a gaming monitor. I am thinking for anywhere around 20-22" (Higher the better). My price range is $150 or less. I reside in Canada- Ontario. I prefer to buy it from the store, but could also settle for online purchase as well. My build is as follows-

Gigabyte GA-H87N-WIFI- MOTHERBOARD
PATRIOT VIPER XTREME 8GB(1) DDR3 1600MHZ MEMMORY- RAM
EVGA GEFORCE GTX 760 2GB GDDR5 1006MGHZ- GRAPHIC CARD
Intel Core i5-4670K Quad-Core Processor -3.4GHZ 6MB L3 CACHE- PROCESSOR

Here is an image of the display ports on the graphic card-

Can someone please recommend me a gaming monitor.

Thanks

It depends on the games you want to play and the features you want. You really aren't going to get a performance gaming monitor in that price range.

I did find three that mostly fit in the budget:
http://www.ncix.com/detail/asus-ve247h-23-6in-widescreen-led-b6-57310-1070.htm - A smidgen over budget but with the mail in rebate is a pretty big screen for 150 bucks.

http://www.ncix.com/detail/lg-21-5in-ah-ips-led-widescreen-64-94206-1070.htm - Maybe not as good for gaming because of the response time, but it will look great.

My kids use this:
http://www.ncix.com/detail/benq-gw2255-21-5in-widescreen-led-70-79926-1070.htm - Some people complain about input lag on MVA panels, but neither my kids or I have noticed any major problems...

I'm not sure what you would specify as a gaming monitor but I bought a HP Pavilion 23xi to game on and it looks fantastic. I think it might help if you mention whether you prefer matte or glossy screens. Glossy ones look better in the stores but honestly, id go for a matte one.
Just go for the highest res, with lowest response time within your budget. IPS displays can sometimes have higher response times but are known to have better colour reproduction along with better viewing angles so its up to you what compromises you wish to make.
I'm in the UK though so I'm not sure what is best in the US of A.
Sorry if im giving you info you already know but thought id just give the basics in case you didn't. Nice set up by the way, almost the same as mine but I went for the Z87 chipset. and an MSI GTX 760.

Your options at $150 price range are zero. You will need to get up to around $190 CDN before having some solid options. If you don't mind using a 60Hz TN panel monitor, then I would recommend you buy the Asus VE247H or BenQ RL2455HM:
