hey guys, I am planning to build an awesome pc by the end of december, here are the parts:

and to be honest, I know so little about monitors, and which ones to buy, my goal is to not have the monitor fatigue my head or cause me a headache, as I had this monitor before http://allstarshop.com/shop/LG-Electronics-L226WT-SF_449_19808.html

and that one I once plugged it in using a VGA cable to my current laptop, and compared to the laptop's screen, i actually noticed how much it hurt my eyes and gave me a slight headache, and there was nothing wrong with the monitor.

so now, moving on, I need someone who's experimented alot with monitors to answer this for me, because even for my goal which is a 1080p 23-24 inch screen, I found so many choices, and so many very very expensive ones and cheaper ones, and I am very confused and I am afraid of buying a cheaper one and it would hurt my eyes like that other one did. also, are the difference in how much it hurts the eyes and cause a headache have to do with the cables, like VGA vs HDMI vs DVI vs DISPLAY PORT?

I found what seems to be good BENQ monitors that are around 130-180 bucks, but then some other ones that are 1080p and 24" and much much more expensive so. Any explanations and previous experiences are appreciated, thanks in advance :)

here are two monitors that I am likely to buy one of:

will these have that weird gamma yellow brightness that will also hurt my eyes? thanks

I don't really wanna change my GTX 970 from Gigabyte, and I am gonna take the drive cages out so it's going to fit, my question really was about monitors, not Video cards

hmmm, I see what you're saying, I know my card is more powerful and could play at much bigger res than 1080p, but you see, this is like my dream build, and I finally saved the money so, I don't really want to get any other video card, I know it's kinda paranoid, but I am sticking to it, because I might get a bigger res monitor in the future, or i might get a bigger res monitor soon if black friday or boxing week has any good offers.
