Hello. I recently bought my first custom PC out of spare parts from New Egg. It's going to arrive shortly, but I forgot that I had to buy a monitor. I was wondering if anyone could help me pick out a monitor or maybe give me some things to look for. These are the things I want my monitor to accomplish:

- I want a monitor with Freesync support
- My build follows a "low-budget for light gaming" theme. I expect my monitor to fall into the same category.
- I don't care about the resolution, I just want a high, consistent frame-rate with little tearing.

This is my build:

Thanks in advance!

Just a tip, never put odd amounts of RAM in, most motherboards, if not all, use dual channeling, which makes even amounts of sticks of RAM more efficient. So 2x2GB of RAM would be more efficient that 1x4GB of RAM. But you didn't want tips for the build :p Just noticed it.

For a monitor, whatever you want, low budget, I saved up and bought a nice BenQ monitor, but they're somewhat expensive, if you're just playing League of Legends, which is a really non-demanding game, you shouldn't worry about a monitor, buy a nice name brand one, Dell, Acer, Samsung, HP, whatever. If you want to spend more, BenQ is a good mid-high end monitor manufacturer.

Thanks for the answer. I only bought one RAM stick because I wanted to save up for that later. Right now I need to put some money together to move to Windows 10. Would you happen to know if a 720 monitor would have Freesync support though? Or if my motherboard supports VGA? I'm not well-versed in the nuances of this stuff.

That monitor will probably kill your PC, the BenQ monitor is a 2k monitor, not a 720 or 1080, so it's REALLY expensive, I wouldn't dish out more money that 100 or so on a monitor with your build honestly, because your PC just can't handle high performance hardware like that. Your motherboard will support VGA.
