If you have amazon prime its 150 otherwise its 200. I have this monitor and I love it.

Here's a couple. The TN ones usually go lower. I bought the curved VA panel for my brother and it's really nice.

24" Sceptre TN

24" Curved Acer VA

24" Acer TN

There's also a 24" MSI model people look for but I don't think it ever goes below $180.

Starting getting into gaming and was wondering if this was a good deal on a monitor.

  I am on budget as I am currently in college so i was hoping to stay in the $150 - $200 price range. I have a 1080.

No good 1440p deals :(

Alright, after an hour of searching and compiling, I’ve come up with an AMD-based build with Full RGB aesthetics.

CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 3600X

https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B07SQBFN2D/ref=ox_sc_act_image_8?smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER&psc=1

This Processor has an insane value for the money. This will handle moderate workstation, browsing, virtualization, and heavy gaming. I feel like you would benefit from a 3600X rather than a 3600 as it has better stock and OC speeds. The 3600X is only $40 more than the 3600 on Amazon.

GPU: MSI Mech OC Radeon RX 5700 XT

https://www.newegg.com/msi-radeon-rx-5700-xt-rx-5700-xt-mech-oc/p/N82E16814137465?item=N82E16814137465

The 5700 XT will absolutely shred 1080p gaming and excel at 1440p gaming. You can easily achieve 144+FPS at 1080p resolution & max settings on Fortnite, Rust, Rainbow Six Siege, CS:GO, Dota, COD, and Minecraft (with heavy mods) and 100+FPS on many AAA titles. In addition to that, the 5700 XT can even handle 4K gaming in games such as Forza, eSport titles, GTA, etc.
I went with the Mech OC model as it is the best model that is still in stock. It’ll provide better thermals compared to blower-styled reference cards.

RAM: Corsair Vengeance RGB Pro DDR4-3600 16GB

https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B07TC4TPCN/ref=ox_sc_act_image_5?smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER&psc=1

With Zen 2 natively supporting higher RAM frequencies, there’s no reason to not surpass the 3000MHz threshold. 3600MHz seems to be the “sweet spot” for Zen 2 as suggested by AMD and many other technical experts.


SSD: Sabrent Rocket 4 1TB NVMe SSD

https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B07LGF54XR/ref=ox_sc_act_image_1?smid=A29Y8OP2GPR7PE&psc=1

The Sabrent Rocket is among the top of the value for money list in the storage market. This is near equal to Intel’s popular 660p SSD, but it has nearly double the performance. Unlike the Intel 660P, the Rocket 4 uses the Toshiba TLC NAND, which has better quality and sustained speeds during read and write cycles.

MOBO: MSI MPG X570 Gaming Plus

https://www.newegg.com/p/N82E16813144262?item=N82E16813144262

This motherboard is a mid-range X570 board. It will enable you to have a very decent OC and RGB Sync experience. I would strongly recommend getting a X570 to get PCIe 4.0 support and bypassing the hassle of a BIOS update.

PSU: EVGA SuperNOVA G3 650W 80+ Gold Modular

https://www.newegg.com/evga-supernova-g3-series-220-g3-0650-y1-650w/p/N82E16817438094?item=N82E16817438094

The last thing you want to do in a build is to cheap out on the power supply. The EVGA SuperNOVA series is one of the best PSU series out there. The G3 650W is fully modular, as well as having a 80+ Gold rating. I also believe there is a 10 year warranty of this model. Also, there is currently a $20 rebate on Newegg for this power supply.

CPU Cooler: Cooler Master ML240L AIO Cooler

https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B075YPG52N/ref=ox_sc_act_image_3?smid=A1FEO2FBXOY7WI&psc=1

The ML240L is a perfect option for the 3600X. It is one of the best budget AIOs out there. It will provide better thermals compared to stock coolers and bring better RGB aesthetics to the build.

Case: Thermaltake Level 20 MT RGB Mid-Tower

https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B07LCMR3JC/ref=ox_sc_act_image_4?smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER&psc=1

The Level 20 MT is perfect for this build. This is a case that is known to provide good airflow, which will definitely help with the thermals. It also features 3 TT RGB fans, which can be synced to the RAM, MOBO, GPU, and AIO CPU Cooler.

Monitor: Acer KG241Q 23.6” Full HD 144Hz Monitor

https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B07MG85X1M/ref=ox_sc_act_image_2?smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER&psc=1

The KG241Q is a 1ms, 144hz 1080p monitor with a TN-panel. While the colors are not as vibrant as IPS-Panel monitors, you will get better responsiveness with the TN panels. Also, the KG241Q features AMD FreeSync technology, which can be used to your advantage to reduce stuttering and tearing during gaming, since you have an AMD GPU.

So that’s it. I know this a $100-200 over $1400. But this is a build with no $$$ wasted. If you have any questions, fell free to reply or PM me.

My monitor: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07MG85X1M/ref=ox_sc_saved_title_1?smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER&psc=1

Would an i5 work with a 2070 or a 2070 super or which one do I get if i7 is better. what are the best pair of a processor and a Graphics card?

First page search result on amazon. looks like it went down in price to 180 now. https://www.amazon.com/Acer-KG241Q-Pbiip-FREESYNC-Technology/dp/B07MG85X1M/ref=sr_1_7?keywords=144hz+monitor&qid=1571767042&sr=8-7

You can find 1080p 60Hz monitors for $100 all over the place, but if you can afford to spend $150 you can catch a cheap 144Hz on sale. If you ever plan to get a PC or upgrade to the next gen consoles its worth it to not have to upgrade again. My roommate just bought this one for $150 on Tuesday.

Want to upgrade my Viewsonic VX2452MH monitor. These are the monitors I'm looking at since they're on sale for Amazon Prime day:

1st Monitor: Acer Nitro VG271 $210

2nd Monitor: Acer KG241Q $150

Leaning towards IPS, but don't have very good eyesight so worried that it may be harder to see things in games with the darker blacks of the IPS compared to the washed out black of the TN panels. Just wanting to get some recommendations. Primary usage will be gaming and light work, don't plan on watching movies on this monitor. Games I'll be playing CSGO, PUBG, Insurgency Sandstorm

youre probably looking at a TN panel.

heres a few ones that are priced alright

one
two
three
(the last one is 27")

Okay. I highly recommend that you check out AMD cards. I think a 580 would be absolutely perfect for your needs, and it would save you quite a bit that you can use on other parts. r/hardwareswap is fantastic, I have personally bought and sold things there and my dealings have always been straightforward. Many RX cards are posted there.

SSD is almost non-negotiable, you really do need one. Shoot for 256GB. It doesn't need to be M.2 form factor but your chosen MOBO does have a slot for one.

For a monitor, I recommend this monitor. It's affordable and an entry into 144hz, but you will probably want to upgrade later. It has some bleed and stuff, but it gets the job done.

Edit: I'm super smart and just realized you chose an SSD. Smart thinking. You could use the money you save to get a HDD for more storage if you don't want to keep uninstalling things to make space.
