£300....need some serious help..

Hi all I've got £300 to spend on a new monitor and I've spent an age looking ,reading reviews and still can't make my mind up . Basically I want to go from 24" to 27". Now I know I can't afford a high res monitor so I've looked at normal 1080p monitors to 120 hz ones and I still don't know what to buy. I think from what I've read the Asus monitors are quite well rated . Now I've seen 2 120 hz monitors in my price but don't know if they are any good or not. 1 is a liyama prolite gb2773hs and the acer hn274hb....I know I'm on a small budget so all I really want is hopefully the best my £300 can get me...…by the way in not totally looking at a120 hz monitor they were just examples....any help would be much appreciated... Thanks guys

Out of interest can you use a 120hz to its full potential? (good gpu/cpu?).

These seem to be well reccomended;

The asus mx sonicmaster is great but if you dont want the speakers (most of us have separate ones anyway) AOC do the same thing for cheaper without the overpriced speakers included.

What is the main thing you use your PC for? Gaming? Photography? Video? Other stuff?
