Hello everyone, i'm a digital artist looking to buy a new monitor after mine just died (a super old dell 30inch). i'm still deciding between the ultrawide LG uc98 and the dell 4k ultrasharp 32 inch. i work on alot of large, high res paintings and do little to no gaming.
My problem is that most new monitors seem to use HDMI and since my pc is pretty old now my GPU only has VGA connectors. because of this im guessing i need to upgrade that whatever my choice. As im relatively happy with my PC in general, i'd only want to upgrade stuff if i really need to and not go too crazy with it.
I was hoping you guys could take a look at my spec and suggest a GPU that could run these types of monitors and hopefully still be compatible with my other parts
Spec:
CPU: Intel core i5-2500k 3.3ghz 4 cores
MB: MSI MS-7681 P67A-GD55
GPU: MSI twin frozr GTX 560 ti 2gb
8Gb ram
120gb SSD
I would really appreciate any insights, many thanks
