Hello, I plan on building a PC and I would like to have a monitor that would be good enough for this build, I'm a newb when It comes to display because I have only played on console.. :p So recommendations would be nice as to why or how its good, Im only looking to spend $200-300 for this monitor but might spend up to $350 if its worth the upgrade... Thanks in advance!

I was looking at that monitor and didnt know if that was the best choice, I might wait for the GTX 880 to come out next month and purchase two in SLI and throw in a second monitor. I was looking at http://www.amazon.com/Samsung-27-Inch-Viewing-Monitor-S27D590P/dp/B00IEZGW8C/ref=sr_1_5?s=pc&ie=UTF8&qid=1408155897&sr=1-5 as an off monitor because of the dual hdmi ports since I have a ps4 and the audio port.
