Hi
I'm looking to get a new monitor but am struggling to decide what would be the best option.

I have a 6GB NVIDIA GEFORCE GTX 1060 and mainly play strategy games, the sims and Skyrim.

The couple I have been looking at are below. So my question is would it be worth getting the 144hz 1ms Asus for the games i play (as they are not really fast paced), or would the IPS Hp give a better picture?

Or are there any others you can suggest? I would like the keep the budget to £220 or less.
 
Solution
Both of them are pretty good, although the IPS one has a 7 Ms response time, which is pretty slow. Out of the two, I would go for the 144Hz personally.
However, you are only playing strategy games, so the IPS monitor is also a really good option, as you do not need to fast a response time then, and the IPS will give you better colors when watching videos.

This monitor combines the best of both worlds, has an IPS panel, as well as a pretty decent response time if you get into FPS gaming:

Thanks I think IPS would be best then as i doubt i will ever get into FPS. I have done a bit more reading and people are also suggesting a monitor with a DVI connection which i didn't realise the HP or the AOC suggested don't have, does this really matter? I.e is there a noticeable difference in HDMI or DVI? or would this monitor be a better option:

It is a 5ms response time and is an IPS panel with a DVI connection.
