I recently bought 2x BenQ FP73G for my sister.
I can't comment on the gaming side but the quality of the picture was good (700:1 contrast ratio), the response time is small (6ms) and the bezels are the smallest I have seen on any 17" monitor.
They cost £104 + vat each from a competitor.
You're budget is a bit higher, so you might be able to get a better model
