Hey guys, Ive been scouting the internet these past few days deciding on the type of monitor I want to get for my first ever gaming rig. The specs of the rig are as follows:
CPU: Intel Core i5-2500K 3.3GHz Quad-Core Processor ($159.99 @ Microcenter)
CPU Cooler: Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO 82.9 CFM Sleeve Bearing CPU Cooler ($29.99 @ Microcenter)
Motherboard: Gigabyte GA-Z77X-UD5H ATX LGA1155 Motherboard ($169.98 @ Amazon)
Memory: G.Skill Ares Series 8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR3-1600 Memory ($54.99 @ Newegg)
Storage: Samsung 830 Series 128GB 2.5" Solid State Disk ($99.99 @ Newegg)
Video Card: Sapphire Radeon HD 7850 2GB Video Card ($259.99 @ Amazon)
Case: Cooler Master CM690 II Advanced ATX Mid Tower Case ($74.98 @ Newegg)
Power Supply: SeaSonic 620W ATX12V / EPS12V Power Supply ($83.99 @ SuperBiiz)
Any suggestions for the monitors?
Looking to pay $160 max but must have:
- FullHD 1080p
- 2-5ms (does it make a big difference?)
- HDMI
- 21.5-22 inches (maybe 23 but pushing it)
- LED
What else do I look for in a gaming monitor?
At the moment ive been checking out these monitors: Pros/Cons would help too please. Ive checked some reviews already i just want more info before i jump the gun.
