Hi PC masterminds
I have a decision to make, and have been reading all posts related to this topic, still cannot decide on final choice...
So - I am building new rig, with z97, 16 GB RAM, 4690K, SSD/HDD, 800W PSU.
For GPU - it will be gtx 970. For now - not SLI, maybe in some months it could be. 800W PSU should be plenty, right?
Now mainly for same price I have two options for monitor (Asus ROG is too expensive):
BenQ BL2710PT - 1440p 60hz IPS
Positives - IPS quality, nice picture, 1440p, in other words - "standard"
Negatives - only that doesn't have extra features as 120-144hz or gsync. But I am playing without that for 15 years now and I am ok
AOC G2460PG - 1080p 144hz gsync TN
Positives - 144 hz, gsync
Negatives - TN panel - image quality and viewing angles worse than IPS.
So question is - which I should get? To followup some standard questions:
1. Will I go for SLI - most probably yes, in future (~6 months period). But it is possible to stay with one card for longer.
2. PC to be used for: 50% for gaming by myself, 50 % for movies/common use/photo viewing etc. by wife/daughter. So that is why quality question on TN panel...
3. What games do I play - mainly all of them (except MMO/RPG games - wow, etc.). Most playable genre - FPS (cod, bf, etc.). I do play cs:go competitively (not pro), and I know that 144 hz would make much better experience, but I am not making decision only on one game.
SO - any thoughts helping me to decide?
