I am here looking for advice on a gaming monitor. I know there are other threads on this, but they seem to go off onto tangents.

Currently, I am looking at a Asus VG248QE and a BenQ XL2411Z. There is also the BenQ RL2455HM but it is only 75Hz. Would it be better to forget this one?
The main games I play at the moment are Strategy games - Total War: Shogun 2 and Rome 2, as well as Banished. I am very much interested in getting into racing games. I plan on buying a Logitech G27 Wheel and Stand in a few weeks. I would prefer to run three monitors in a cockpit view, however I know my system won't handle it. If I purchase one monitor, my second would be an LG 32" 1080p TV, which would mostly be used for video's/TV and web browsing while playing a game on an actual monitor.

My current build is using -
MSI GTX560 ti - http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E168...
AMD Phenom II 975 - http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E168...
12GB 1333 RAM

Any help is greatly appreciated. If I should look at different models I am open to opinions. I would like to purchase one by tomorrow.

The Asus VG248QE is fantastic for high refresh rate gaming with 144Hz, whereas the BenQ RL2455HM is only 75Hz. The BenQ probably has a better image quality, but not significant enough to make it a deal breaker. You will only be able to utilize the 144Hz of the ASUS with Dual Link DVI.
