Hi, my kids want a new pc for christmas, so i decided to buy them parts instead, and build it together with them. This is the build I'm going for:
https://pchound.com/Y6ZNL6/
I, I mean the kids, will be using it for gaming (I like fast FPS games, they like games like PUBG and Fortnite), school stuff, powerpoint, videos, youtube, etc.
Honestly, there seem to be quite a few monitor options available from 4K, 1440p, g-sync, free-sync, etc. I chose the monitor in the pchound link because it was a g-sync monitor with what I understand a quick response time and I can get it at Walmart for 299.99 (pchound doesn't have that option)
I'm thinking my budget for a monitor will be between 300-400, but preferably at or under 350.
Adding all these options together, monitors can get quite expensive. I'm thinking I want minimum of a 24" monitor with g-sync, 1440p, and a 1 ms or less response time.
Some question and concernsi have are is g-sync actually needed? This option alone seems to up the monitor price considerably. Also, after this PC is built, I don't plan on upgrading it for a while, and I worry that as a couple years pass, I won't be able to play games at 1440p. Will this be a big problem if I have to lower resolution in the future for gaming?
So in addition to some questions and concerns, does anyone have any good monitor recommendations?
Thanks in advance.
