I originally chose that monitor as I do graphic design work and wanted to go with an IPS monitor for better color accuracy, good brightness, etc. I'm coming from a late 2014 27" iMac, so I know very few monitors in that price range will compare, but the internal upgrades are more than enough for me.
That being said, I realized that I also wanted to be able to play games at a high refresh rate. The monitors I originally chose are 60Hz monitors, so now I have to find some to replace them.
I'm looking for:
2k+ resolution
144 Hz
IPS preferred, VA acceptable
27"+
Considering curved or flat
100x100 VESA compatible
What would you all recommend? Also, I hope my PC as outlined above doesn't have any obvious deficiencies. It's my first time building, so please let me know. I've got all of it on the way except for the monitors. Everything is still boxed or in transit, so I can swap most things out if need be, but I tried to do my homework and think I've got a solid build going.
Anyway, any help is appreciated, primarily with the monitors. Let me know, please!
