I'm not in the US, but from what I read Black Fridat is hit and miss. Many sales are scams (prices go up just before the sale), many nice products are not on sale. But there are always some interesting deals, and if you know what you want and have an overview of valid alternatives (to get if the price is right) it can work out. But I would not wait for it if you need a PC now, and your budget is high enough to get one now.

Take a look at Dell SE2416HX 23.8" Screen LED-Lit IPS Monitor

Same price on Amazon currently: https://www.amazon.com/Dell-SE2416HX-Screen-LED-Lit-Monitor/dp/B01717TLMM

Okay, so I'm going to sound like a jerk, but here goes.

1. Switch to AMD - more bang for the buck, A8-9600 scores better in benchmarks
   
2. Motherboard - Switch to this one or something else: Link
   
3. Get a less expensive monitor: link
   
4. Switch to a SSD (240GB) Link
   
5. Buy a windows 10 key instead through some website ($40 max), I wouldn't pay over $100 for windows unless you're getting a RETAIL copy that you can re-use when you upgrade, OEM copies are tied to the motherboard and when you upgrade it, you'll have to buy another copy.
   
   
   Spend that extra money on games. Problem solved.

This one looks like a close match: 24M47VQ.

However, if you want to try upgrading to an IPS screen instead of sticking with a TN panel, it looks like you could buy this monitor for virtually the same price: 24MP48HQ-P. However, this one doesn't have a DVI-D input, so if you don't have an HDMI connection to your computer and were connecting with DVI-D instead of VGA, you could try this Acer monitor as it's very similar: Acer R240HY bidx.

If you do have an HDMI connection available and a cable, I'd recommend this Dell 24" monitor for currently the same price as the above suggestions: Dell SE2416HX.

Hope this helps!

Or if this monitor is still up for grabs, with the coupon code, I'd do this one for the gaming. (sorry can't direct link, remove spaces)

Alright so here's my recomendations. I used https://www.productchart.com/monitors/ by the way, so you can do your own research if you'd like.

24" 1080p 60Hz IPS - 130 USD - Super easy for a 1070 to handle, this is standard run of the mill today.
https://www.amazon.com/Dell-SE2416HX-Screen-LED-Lit-Monitor/dp/B01717TLMM?psc=1&SubscriptionId=AKIAJ76EIXAV3V6D6JEQ&tag=globalnetwork-20&linkCode=xm2&camp=2025&creative=165953&creativeASIN=B01717TLMM

25" 1440p 60Hz IPS - 300 USD - Ideal load for a 1070, better for games with a focus on graphic quality over smoothness and/or are not competitive.
https://www.amazon.com/Dell-UltraSharp-U2515H-25-Inch-LED-Lit/dp/B00SPWPF1O/ref=pd_sim_147_3?_encoding=UTF8&pd_rd_i=B00SPWPF1O&pd_rd_r=H73A8JMDBX9R9WJMCRNV&pd_rd_w=6T2Lk&pd_rd_wg=FR5eC&psc=1&refRID=H73A8JMDBX9R9WJMCRNV

24" 11080p 144Hz TN - 250 USD - Ideal load for a 1070, better for games with a focus on smoothness over graphic quality and/or are designed to be competitively played.

>I'd really appreciate input on the monitor

The Dell monitor you've picked is a very nice monitor, though I'd perhaps go with the 24" SE2416HX model instead of the one you've picked. It's on sale on Amazon for $130 right now. Same monitor, just smaller. 27" is a big screen for 1080p, which means that the image can look pixelated.

The next big jump in monitor quality sits at about $3-400 (which is either 1440p 60Hz IPS or 144hz 1080p IPS/VA/Q-dot), so it seems like a very solid buy for your budget.

With regards to the build:

If you're serious about getting a VR setup sometime later, it might be worth it to take the 'Ship of Theseus' approach to PC building. That is, spend more money on things you don't need to upgrade (PSU, case, cooling, hard drives), while saving a little on the things that are going to need an upgrade later (CPU, RAM, GPU), then slowly upgrading those parts over time when you can find the budget for it, until it's a kickass machine all around. Depends entirely on how much you like tinkering if it's the right thing for you to do, but it is an option.

Same.

Step off, I'm Dell Monitor Fanboy #1. Fite me IRL.

The Acer is a nicer panel (slightly) but the Dells trashed it in build quality.. It actually was very competitive with my P2715Q once I got it adjusted properly. The P2715Q is slightly more "vivid" (contrasty) at a given brightness than the S2716DG, if that makes sense. Increasing the brightness washes out contrast but if it's too dark you lose your shadow detail.

(if you shoot cameras it's like shooting a negative - get it on the film)

Good news is, the S2716DG is real close. I can tell side by side but I know what I'm looking for. Both of those monitors have been rock solid for me. The P2715Q was color-calibrated pretty well from the factory (using a colorimeter). I'm 100% sure they have crappy cost-reduced models but the high end stuff is the shit.

They have a sub-$200 27" 60 Hz IPS Freesync panel out now (sadly only 1080p). Also a 24" version.That would be real nice for a low-end workstation setup, or maybe triple-screen it with Eyefinity.

I've had AMD CPUs since I was a kid (K6-2 400) but a couple years ago I switched to Intel due to the really poor gaming performance. I went back and forth on GPUs every couple years when I was a kid, but a lot of NVIDIA. Started with Matrox (tfw old as fuck), my parents refused to buy me a Voodoo, eventually got a Rage 128 Pro when games with mandatory HW T&L came around, then a GeForce 2 MX, and the 440MX (scam!), and then finally wised up and started buying a nicer GPU every other generation instead. I think I bought some flavor of 5800 or 6800 and then I want to say my next GPU was a 8800 or 9800 or something. There is also the possibility it was an AMD 2600 or something, I forget that one. I switched to a 7850 in Nov 2012 and spent the whole winter break marathoning Far Cry 3 at 720p. A couple years later I switched to the 280, then the 780 Ti (got a really good deal), then a good deal on the S2716DG (1440p TN GSync) happened.

When Pascal launched I got a pretty great deal on a 980 Ti ($400 for a new EVGA Classified) and I figured I'd do Step Up for a 1070 or 1080... then I got on the list and it ended up being 9 months until they had anything and by that point EVGA was having a problem with a batch of bad caps. I ended up getting a nice price mistake on a 1080 FE (for $435) in November and upgraded.

Obviously upgraded a lot recently, but I sell off my old kit, so it's more like trading up. I keep one cheap spare, currently RX 480 8 GB.

I actually almost got a 295x2 at one point (during my 280 era), had it in-hand for $350, decided to send it back and get a Maxwell or Fiji instead. I do have a title that won't scale with SLI that I play all the time - but srsly, major regret there.

I also have a couple 480 8GBs I bought back before prices spiked a couple months ago. Love it at $175, hate it at $220.

I really liked GCN in the early days, going up against Fermi and Kepler it was amazing, against Maxwell+Pascal it's been shit. Polaris is OK, not having a Big Polaris to compete against the 1070/1080 was a bonehead move in hindsight.

I have no particular animosity towards AMD but on the other hand I'm not really willing to entertain the Hype Train bullshit anymore. I have been through this far, far too many times with AMD. Show me the hardware, the benchmarks, and the dotted line I can sign on, or I'm not interested.

I get a lot of entertainment time out of my rig overall, it's cheap as viewed per-month, and if there's a $150 one-time upgrade that will noticeably improve my game quality versus a promise a year into the future then fuck it. I don't have an unlimited budget, I watch religious for deals on hardware, but as yuppie scum with no kids: if there is a serious value proposition to be made I would rather just suck it up and pay the GSync tax or whatever than wait around forever.

My 780 Ti was perfectly playable, and I was actually perfectly happy with my 980 Ti, but I can't stop myself when I have the chance to trade up cheap and the 1080 has also been nice. I game at 1440p at 100fps, the 980 Ti did like 75 which is perfectly fine in my book, I don't see the need to peg the needle at 165 Hz or whatever. With *Sync, 60fps average is magic and 40 is perfectly playable, the big steps upward in many games are in maxing out the last few settings, not the extra 10fps or whatever.

NVIDIA has been constantly delivering lately, which is one reason I mind being locked in somewhat less. Kepler (in hindsight) was a pretty good release actually (given its compute support). Maxwell is a pretty masterful move for the consumer gaming market. Pascal is a solid die shrink with some weak spots patched (DX12/async performance). Jen-Hsun basically invented his market and knows his engineering shit too.

I am very impressed with Lisa Su so far. I don't know that this is her lifelong work like JHH but she's made the right calls since taking over. While Rory Reid picked her, which appears to have been the best call of his life - the technical/leadership directions AMD took during his tenure were all fucking terrible. I hope she does right the ship, a charismatic engineer with vision in charge of a company can go a long ways.

Ryzen is great, I believe in the value propositions high-core-count processors make so strongly that a year ago I upgraded to a 6C/12T i7 + motherboard for $440 total (Microcenter). Memory was half the price then too (got 32GB of DDR4-3000 CAS15 for $126). I still think my hardware still has its advantages (I clock to 4133 all-core at stock voltages, maxing out around 90W with a normal load (handbrake x264) and 130W in Prime95 smallFFT) but Ryzen is a legitimate contender right now especially in the server market IMO. I could probably go to 4.5 if I tried but I'm really more than happy to just run with stock voltages. Xeons are a ripoff (except engineering samples), although i3s and Pentiums can also do ECC now for ye olde ZFS box.

Looking at doing a 8-bay ZFS NAS build on a mATX chassis, needs to have 8 onboard SATA ports minimum (no expansion cards - I want to hold that open for infiniband) plus ideally something for cache too. Right now I'm looking at an Asus PS10M-WS with a G4600 plus a M.2 NVMe drive for boot and L2ARC cache, and maybe 16 GB of ECC RAM. There's also the C2750d4i but that's got a processor with a track record of problems and only a mITX size...

Price range?

For around $125 I would recommend this one:

Know of any good ips monitors in that ms range for pc/xbox gaming¿

How about this one?

I think I'll go for the Dell then. It says there's a newer version available though, the Dell SE2416HX, do you know anything about that?

I don't know if you can help me, but out of these 5 which one should I get?

Main Uses: Competitive gaming, Single-player games rpg, netflix, and occasional web browsing/homework.

• HP Pavilion 25xw
  
• Dell SE2416HX
  
• Dell P2416D
  
• Dell SE2416HX
  
• Samsung S24E390HL
  
  I'm just looking for a monitor that is best for my eyes (less eye fatigue, strain), good response time, if it doesn't have speakers, then I do have computer speakers I can use. Best picture as well.
  
  Edit 1: Okay. I did a bit more research & found that the models I crossed out, don't appeal to me due to lack of inputs for audio and other reasons.
  
  Edit 2: So, I'm gonna debating between the Samsung S24E390HL vs the BenQ RL 2460HT.
  
  I really like the BenQ because it has 2 hdmi ports. But, say. If I got the Samsung. Are there adaptors or receivers I could buy so I could have 2 hdmi ports plugged in?
  

That is a legitimate concern which is why I wouldn't truly recommend going with either of the monitors you mention and sticking with a new 24" 1080p display (if you're 100% locked in to a $200 budget), stepping up just a bit to get a slightly better display, or wait and save up for 1440p.

$145 1920x1080 24" Dell

$280 2560x1080 29" LG

got [this] (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01717TLMM/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_4KHzybFXSXZM3) for xmas. personally love it!

I got this [IPS monitor](Dell SE2416HX 23.8" Screen LED-Lit IPS Monitor https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01717TLMM/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_OpWwybPQM1Z4P) a bit ago for $100 off Amazon. Just order it, see for yourself and if you don't like it, send it back. I was impressed with the results.

Edit: added words to make sense.

Is an IPS monitor that much better?

What about this acer monitor?

It is an LCD though.

Edit: Also found this dell

if you don't have amd you should get this dell one since it has an ips panel so there would be sharper colors

I got [these](http://www.Dell.com/ SE2416HX 23.8" Screen LED-Lit IPS Monitor https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01717TLMM/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_prN0Ab3N8SA97)


Though I may upgrade to some with a higher refresh

this, this, or this would do really nicely. The important thing is that it's an ips panel, meaning colors will look really vibrant and great. If you're not going to be using a mouse, you really don't have to worry about response time.

Edit: a word
