There is almost no reason nowadays to get anything less then a 1080p monitor.
- Desktop space increases as resolution goes up. multitasking becomes easier
- Unlike living rooms most people set about 2-3 feet from the monintor. 1080p resolution is clearly better then 720p from that distance
The only reason I would suggest a 720p monitor is if your dealing with entry level GPU's. running a game native resolution will look sharper then a high rez monitor down scaling.

great call, For a R9 270, short and simply 1080p is the better gaming experience, yes there is a noticeable difference.

This is a great budget monitor:

This one is slightly more but has an IPS panel (slightly better colour, wider viewing angles):

This is the CHEAPEST that I'd recommend but it doesn't have an HDMI input:
http://pcpartpicker.com/part/benq-monitor-gw2255
Some warnings:
- avoid monitors with LOW or NO customer scores
- refresh rate of 6ms or less
- I avoid ACER in general as I've seen a lot of bad experience.
- You should usually use DVI as your connection, but if you want HDMI for a BluRay player, console or whatever make sure it's included.

the r270 can handle 1080p just fine. When I say entry level graphics I mean like, Intel HD graphics or entry to mid range laptop graphics.
