What monitor ?

[Andrew Paterson]

Ok so as the title suggests, what monitor ?

I recently built my gaming build however held out on a monitor due to black friday coming up with the hope of catching a bargain. I mainly play call of duty and MSFS 20 however will delve into other games the more i get the hang of pc gaming.

The specs that matter are

Ryzen 5 3600
MSI GTX 1660 Super Ventus OC 6gb

Some have suggested 27" at 1440p as a way of being ready for future upgrades (gpu etc) however will my 1660 cope with this especially with msfs or would i be more suited to 1080 at 144hz ? I don't mind upgrading the monitor when i upgrade gpu in the future.

Also , things im not sure on

VA or IPS
Freesynce /gsync

See tbh , im new to to pc gaming, cyberpunk is a title i will no doubt get as well.

In terms of upgrading . I certainly wont be doing so for the next year or so and see aslong as the graphics/performance are to a decent enough standard then im happy
