Does it matter what kind of computer you have when it comes to buying monitors?

[Trevon Harris]

I have a custom built PC with an amd fx 6300 processor, 8gb of ram, and a Nvidia GeForce 8400gs graphics card. I have enough money to buy a 27 inch quad hd monitor. Does it matter what kind of specifications my PC has? I'm not trying to game, and if I do I just lower the resolution.

If by quad HD you mean 4K, I don't know if the GPU will be capable of that resoultion. What monitor exactly are you looking at?

that gpu wont support 4K (quad hd) so no it wont work and even if it did you would barely be able to run anything on it

Qhd is 1440p although no one really calls it qhd. 4k is uhd and no one uses that term either. The 8400gs can do qhd with dual link dvi. As long as the gpu can do the res and this isn't a 10bit monitor you should be fine. It's a very low end gpu and igpu on the mobo is probably better if you have one.
