I'm looking at these 2 monitors
A sceptre (I have never heard of this brand and haven't found any reviews on it
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16824112006
And this Dell
http://accessories.dell.com/sna/productdetail.aspx?c=us&l=en&s=dhs&cs=19&sku=320-5123
it's an E207WFP

They both have the same response time (5ms), but the sceptre has a better contrast ratio.
From what I've seen the dell has more resolutions that it can go to besides the 1680x1050.
Which one would ya'll recommend I get for gaming
I can only afford around this price range.

My buddy bought a Sceptre and bitches about it constantly. I bought a Dell refurb and couldn't be happier! All refurbed Dell's are checked for dead pixels - makes 'em a good deal at the right time.

I ordered a 22" Sceptre monitor from costco.com and I wasn't pleased at all with my purchase. I tried configuring the colors and the brightness but they just were not right. It was a decent monitor to browse the internet with if you turned down the brightness, but it was impossible to enjoy playing games on it (I tried messing with all the settings). I returned it to Costco for a full refund a few days after I received it (I love Costco :D ).

Buy the Dell instead of the Sceptre.
