I currently have 2 rather old Samsung Syncmaster 2443BW's at home, 1920x1200 resolution.

I'm looking for a bit of an upgrade to them, but I have absolutely no idea what. I could replace both budgeting for about £200 each, or replace just my main one what I game on for up to £400.

Currently running a 770 GTX, mostly play WoW with some Overwatch and D3 thrown in.

What would be my best options?
 
Ok, so I feel like I should probably invest in just the one for now. So that's me set on a £400ish budget.

What say you?
 
I have the same Samsung screen (now used as a second screen)

Replaced it with a 4k 27" Dell for £500
My main use is photography so IPS and high res was what I wanted.

If your primary use is gaming you may prefer a higher refresh rate and 1440p


As with everything you need to compromise somewhere unless you have loads of money.
 
GTX 770 @ 1440p isn't going to give you great frame rates, even the 970 struggles to get 60fps@1440p.

My suggestion would be to get a decent 24" 1080p G-Sync monitor, something like this:
 
Ok well in that case...

Will a 1060 do enough for me, or should I stretch to the 1070?

Also, which monitor assuming a budget of £600-£650.
