Goop 1440p gaming monitor and 1080p monitor

[USColo]

I'm currently building a pc around a gtx 970 and I know a 970 is enough for 1440p gaming but my budget doesn't give me enough room to buy a good 1440p monitor right from the start so I'm looking to buy a 1080p monitor that I can game with and (after I buy a 1440p gaming monitor, and another 970) have it along side my 1440p monitor to watch videos on YouTube and browse the web so I need a semi good 1080p 'gaming' monitor that I will eventually turn into one for watching videos 23"-24" would be best and the 1440p one 27" would be ideal.

For 1440p, I would recommend s r9 290/290x because of the extra 0.5 normal vram it has. Anyways, some good monitors:

1080p

I will get the PB278Q but wouldnt an ips pannel be better for the 1080p one or does it really not matter? And what exactly is the difference between the 2 1080p ones other than the the ms response?

The type of panel doesn't differ between what type of resolution of monitor you're getting. IPS panels produce better imgaes with higher response times but all response time lower than 8ms is typically unnoticeable. The Asus one has a VGA, DVI, and HDMI Port while the BenQ has a DVI, D-Sub, and HDMI port. Other than that, it doesn't really matter. Here is are 2 great IPS monitors.

I use the VG248QE. It is great: http://www.amazon.com/Asus-VG248QE-24-Inch-LED-Lit-Monitor/dp/B00B2HH7G0

For 1440p, this looks really good: http://www.amazon.com/PG278Q-27-Inch-Screen-LED-Lit-Monitor/dp/B00MSOND8C

I believe the latter is the only 144hz 1440p monitor available right now.
