Hi, I am looking at some different monitors. I was looking at something along the lines of this:

but then I got to talking with other people on here and we decided the nicest upgrade would be a new gpu. We decided either a radeon r9 270x or a gtx 760 would be the best card my cpu could utilize without bottlenecking. So now my budget for a monitor just went way down.
if i go with the 270x while(from what gpubenchmarks says) it's a decrease in performance, it is about 60-70 bucks cheaper, which would allow me to put that towards a nicer monitor. so i havn't decided on the card yet...
I'm thinking under $250 for the card and $150 and under for the monitor.

i seen a few for less but this is the cheapest 4gb gpu I've found.
I run dual monitor setup currently with a 32" 1080p hdtv but outside of movies laying in bed, it's not too comfy to use as a monitor. Someone mentioned in another thread the latency is too high to use as a monitor, which is what gives me headaches. So I really wanna get a monitor back haha
hoping people can shoot me some suggestions on some monitors and your thoughts on the cards?
Thanks everyone!
