I need to stay under $300, and I don't think that my build is compatible with 3D, but I'll leave that up to you guys, because it doesn't matter to me if I play in 3d or not since I haven't tried it. I wanted a 23"+ screen, and I'd mostly be playing games like tomb raider, battlefield 3, Skyrim, Assassins creed 3, crysis 3, and bioshock infinite. Anyways, here is my build: PCPartPicker part list / Price breakdown by merchant / Benchmarks

Well i have actually already purchased the z75, is it that big of a deal that I should return it and get the z77? And just curious, but why wouldn't you recommend the first monitor because of my gpu? If it not powerful enough?

Sorry about that, I was wrong. The z75 will be fine, not quite as good as a z77, but still good. I was thinking of the z68 chipset.

You would get better frames at 1920x1080 than at 1920x1200. It's really only a width change, though.
