Hi guys. I'm finding it hard to decide between a new monitor or a new GPU so I was wondering if you could give me any tips/advice.
I currently have a 60hz Samsung B2230 which is like 5 years old and it has a small problem of displaying like almost invisible horizontal lines during gameplay so I've been thinking of buying a new one (more specifically a 144hz ASUS VG248QE).
This is my current build:
CPU: Intel Core i5 4690k @ 3.5GHz
• GPU: Nvidia Geforce GTX 750Ti 2GB
• RAM: 8GB
• Motherboard: ASUS H81-Gamer
• OS: Windows 8.1 Pro
Now I can't stand playing any game on any other resolution besides 1080p at least and my current GPU struggles in some games such as GTA V where I play on Normal at 1080p. Even in those settings it can't stand a steady 60fps rate since in some areas (like in the middle of the forests) it drops the frame rate quite a bit. The GPU I was thinking of buying is the new Sapphire RX 480 Nitro+ OC 4GB.
So, considering everything I've stated what would you guys go for first? The 144hz monitor or the RX 480?
The games I currently play the most are Rocket League, GTA V among others.
Thank you in advance.
