My ageing set up is i5-3450, 8Gb RAM, AMD HD7850 graphics card. I'm a relatively casual gamer and not into online FPS etc. Currently playing through Prey on a Ilyama 24in monitor at 1920 x 1080 resolution and I'm happy with the performance. Th enext game I'm going to play is likely to be Wastreland 3 so nothing too graphically demanding on that front. The plan is to upgrade the monitor now (Xmas and b/day present) and the rest of the system next summer.

I fancy a 32in monitor, mainly for work. It would be really handy to dsplay 2 full A4 documents side by side. Having to scroll through separate pages is a real ballache for a certain part of my job. Not something I'd do 8h a day, maybe 5 hours per week, rest of the time as a genaeral workstation/web browser/casual gaming. There are some good deals to be had on an AOC Q3279VWFDB at the moment that has had some positive reviews as a budget monitor and is in my price bracket (sub £200 atm - <edit> actually sub £150!).

My question is, is my system going to be too much of a bottleneck for this monitor?
 
The plan for the new system is pre-built from OCUK, i5-9400F, 16Gb RAM, GTX 1660.

Is that going to be able to deal with a 32in monitor?
 
Just a gentle bump on this one. Just want to take advanatge of any BF deals this week. Am I on the right trrack with my suggetsed spec to do a 32in monitor justice?
