It's tough to even begin to answer without a resolution and budget, but I'll assume you are looking for a 1080p monitor in which case Id recommend the Asus VG248QE

Good monitor depends on your budget.Since you have a rx 480 card.I suggest you to get a Monitor with AMD freesync support(75hz min to 160hz max).RX 480 is a 1080p card and so you should look at 1080p resolution monitor unless you are planning to upgrade to a better card

Sorry for the lack of info > But yes 1080p is great and my budget is around 300$ if you know any widescreen/curved screen monitors around that price let me know I'm trying to expand my options before I buy one. Thanks for the suggestion!

Would this be an option? https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16824025516&ignorebbr=1
I dont know if my games would still be able to maintain the fps its at though thats my worry but is I grab a monitor that's 1920 x 1080 would I experience any fps drops? im currently on a Magnavox thats meant for tv and is at 60hz it only supports 720p or 1360 x 768

you can look at
Samsung CF591 Series Curved 27-Inch FHD Monitor

or
LG 24GM79G-B 24(24 inch)

that will do just fine.Its a 2k monitor.Frame rate will take a slight hit if resolution is increased although it should work just as fine.LG IPS Display quality is also good.Also the Freesync will provide 75hz refresh rate

The VG248QE can be enhanced to provide Motion Blur Reduction using the toasty strobelight utility which accounts for its high popularity

An 1440p IPS monitor for , $300 ? .... I wouldn't take it for free.

Is IPS panel technology better than TN ? Absolutely.

Is a $300 IPS monitor better than a $250 TN monitor, Absolutely not.

1. A 1440p IPS **gaming** monitor is going to cost you $700.

2. 1440p is 3,686,400 pixels, 1360 x 768 = 1,044,480 pixels. Your 70 fps just became 20 fps.

Many Monitors come with motion Blur nowadays.While the VG248QE might help its a nvidia monitor and he would need a nvidia card(which he don't) to take full advantage of it.Free sync monitor is the best for his route

so you're saying saying if I switch to a 1920 x 1080 monitor my fps is going to be significantly lower? or only at 1440p

1. No, Motion Blue Reduction is part of the G-Sync Hardware Module, so every monitor with G-Sync is theoretically capable of providing MBR; not all manufacturers choose to implement it tho. The list of nVidia monitors (20) is here where it says "NVIDIA Ultra Low Motion Blur (ULMB)" and you will note that the VG248QE is not listed here
http://www.blurbusters.com/faq/120hz-monitors/


2. No, not that many other monitors provide for MBR technology. A select few Freesync monitors come with MBR technology. It is not part of Freesync but is added by the monitor manufacturer. The list (17) may be found here under "Other Brands of Blur Reduction" some of which are Freesync
http://www.blurbusters.com/faq/120hz-monitors/

3. No, the VG248QE is not an nVidia only monitor. It had the option to add G-Sync with an aftermarket kit, which very few people did. You will find the list of monitors which are neither G-Sync nor Freesync here entitled "Classic LightBoost Blur Reduction"
http://www.blurbusters.com/faq/120hz-monitors/

I have done many builds, both nVidia and AMD with the VG248QE

The list of G-Sync and Freesync monitors are here:

Either way, it will be lower ... for a gauge of approximately hpow much, at the same settings:

At 1080p, take your current fps @ 1360 x 768 and divide by 2.0
At 1440p, take your current fps @ 1360 x 768 and divide by 3.5
