1. What Is Your Country Of Origin?
Australia, I use PC Case Gear to buy my parts mostly, but anything from pc partpicker au should be fine

2. What do you plan to do with this monitor? (ex. Games, Movie Watching, Photo Editing, etc.)
Majorly Gaming, but some photo editing
3. What resolution and screen size do you want?
23" or above should be fine. and resolution 1080p is fine
4. What refresh rate do you want? (ex. 60 hz , 70 hz.)
60hz I could live with but the higher the better
5. How much are you looking to spend?
I would prefer not to spend over $200 au per screen, but if it can't be avoided I could afford slightly more
6. Brands Preferred (ex. Samsung, Acer, Asus, AOC, HP, Viewsonic, etc. )
I have had AOC and Samsung Recommended, personally I like dell screen (love me some ultrasharp but so expensive :\)
7. Brands Not Preferred (state reason why)
Im not a fan of veiw sonic, they feel cheap and nasty to me
8. Are You Buying More Than One Monitor?
I am looking for 2 monitors, posiblly upgrading to 3 later but I doubt it
9. How Many Displays Can Your GPU Support Maximum? And what GPU and driver version are you using if applicable?
My GPU is the Nvidia GTX 780 and it can handle 4 screens, it has 2 HDMI outputs, 2 DVI outputs and a display port from memory
10. What Port Do You Want To Connect To (ex. DVI-D, HDMI, etc).
Defiantly not VGA through adapters :S HDMI or Display port is preferable, DVI isn't to bad either
11. Is This Monitor A Primary Display Or A Secondary Display?
both, 2 screens
12. Is This A Secondary Display For A Laptop? no they are for a custom built desktop PC

Alright that's all set out well methinks, I look forward to some help inc choosing my new screens, on a side note I do prefer IPS screens

connectors, if your referring to inputs then yes. It has;

D-Sub x 1 (VGA - Lowers video quality)
HDMI x 1

HDMI is the best of which.

Graphics card;
GTX 780

2 HDMI and 2 DVI, easily can support three screens

DVI is best if you have 120/144Hz monitors as HDMI only goes to 60Hz, but for the monitors I listed HDMI and DVI are both as good as each other, no video quality difference and neither is "better" of the two.

As for MSY, I know you listed two other sites, but I live in Australia and this site tend to have the cheapest things available, I go to this place in-store so that says it's not a scam of any sort.

Alright thanks, I have shopped at MSY before I just prefer PCCG. Didn't actually know that about DVIrefresh rates, thanks

I'll probably get the first one and try it out and then maybe get another one.
