New To This: Monitor Suggestion help!
Posted: 06 Aug 2021, 10:34
First off hello! I'm new to this forum but not to computers and gaming.
In the past I have just bought what ever cheap monitor I could find that I "Liked"
Currently I have a $200 curved Samsung 1920X1080 60hz
Before I came here I knew monitors played a role in how things looked but I stayed ignorant to the fact because it was just easier that way. So I was googling monitor tests and pretty soon I had these little alien spaceships zooming across my screen and that led to me spending hours and days reading down the rabbit hole on this site. I still don't have even close to the depth of knowledge that people here have but I think I have come to the right place to ask what I need to ask!
I'm almost done with a new 5950X build with a RTX 3090 founders card, the system should be top shelf. I would like a 2k 165hz+ monitor to go with it as everything I see this seems like a sweet spot for FPS for newer games at max resolutions. I'm a competent IT person so tuning something should not be too hard (if there is a guide to follow)
The following are what I really prefer unless its a total deal breaker.
27"+
Curved
165hz+
2k
I like wide monitors
Games I plan on playing and doing on this monitor:
Battle Field 2042 (I love to be competitive when I play)
CSGO (I love to be competitive when I play)
Some older MMORPG games (I love to be competitive when I play)
Excel spread sheets
Email
Browsing the internet
I'm willing to spend $700+ if its the right monitor that would fit my mix of components and games.
Any help is appreciated I really want to get something coming soon
Thank you all for any help!
