Hey Guys,
Im doing a new gaming build, i play mostly heros of the storm, which isnt the most hardware intensive game. So, im not trying to spend a million dollars but also want a powerful enough build to where i dont have to upgrade in a year or two. trying to find that happy medium, fortunately, I can afford to spring if i need to.
All that being said, smooth high res gaming is my interest. ive done a ton of research and i understand ill need to take advantage of the adaptive sync technology. ive also concluded that IPS doesnt seem to have the seek time im looking for, so im going to opt for a TN panel.
however, whether to go with gsync or free sync is still up in the air, so obviously, im deciding between nvidia and amd. Also, the power to cost ratio of the graphics card is something im trying to figure out. of course, then there is, which brand of said graphics card..... ever easy
here is what i was thinking, based on the happy medium approach of powerful yet cost effective (about $900 out the door):
Monitor: Dell - S2417DG 23.8" 2560x1440 165Hz Monitor

Graphics Card Gigabyte - GeForce GTX 1080 8GB WINDFORCE OC 8G Video Card

does anyone have insight on the situation? obviously, if there is a synergistic monitor and graphics card combo that people use, i would be interest to know what that is.
very much appreciate guys, i hope this will not only be beneficial for me but also for those who find themselves in the same situation.
