Need help with a gaming monitor setup

[quik334]

Honestly I have a lot of questions when it comes to this. I have looked around in plenty of different forums and read tons and tons online but still cannot decide on a single monitor.

1. What Is Your Country Of Origin?
United States
2. What do you plan to do with this monitor?
Games and Movie watching. Games as in ESO, Watch Dogs, The Evil Within,
3. What resolution and screen size do you want?
This part I got a little scared of the 1440p. I will be using a 780ti not in SLI so I am steering away from it right now. So I guess 1080p.
4. What refresh rate do you want? (ex. 60 hz , 70 hz.)
From what I read 60 hz should be fine for me.
5. How much are you looking to spend?
$600
6. Brands Preferred:
I've been leaning torwards BenQ but I heard the clarity of the picture is not great on them. Dell is also a another I like. I am really looking for a great picture and a good response time.

7. Brands Not Preferred (state reason why)

8. Are You Buying More Than One Monitor?
No.
9. How Many Displays Can Your GPU Support Maximum? And what GPU and driver version are you using if applicable?
Single 780ti
10. What Port Do You Want To Connect To (ex. DVI-D, HDMI, etc).
What ever is best.
11. Is This Monitor A Primary Display Or A Secondary Display?
Primary.

So there you have it. Basically I would like to play everything at the max I possible could. Mind you I am used to playing games lately on a max of like medium cause my computer is kinda horrible at the moment.

I guess you have many options with your graphic horse power and budget. It really depends: like surround? 144hz? 1440p? Pay a little more for UHD/4k?
For surround buy 3x:

for 1440p:

for 144hz/3D:

for UHD/4K (100 dollars more):

All of these screens have different advantages. I would not expect you to max everything on surround or 4k due to the high pixel count, but AA is almost irrelevant at such high resolutions.

I thought the 780ti has trouble maxing out 1440p screens?

 

[ak47jar3d]

True. 780ti is not good enough to max every game @ 1440p. Max settings shouldn't be the priority, the best possible graphics should be. Meaning more pixels and less AA is better than the other way. I always recommend getting the most pixels and adjusting details accordingly to produce the best visuals.

I think then the 1440p route is where I will go. I keep hearing great things about it. I plan on adding another 780ti here soon so that I know should be more then enough.
