I don't know anything about monitors so I want to know what I should look for. Most intensive gaming I do is league of legends / fallout 4, but I'd like potential to do a bit more. I need to keep my budget below 1000$. I may reduce my graphics card to a 960 if I need to preserve some money or if cyber monday has nothing on sale. Thank you for any help
