Looking to get some opinions on what monitors I should buy to use on my upgraded setup. I've been looking at some ASUS ones, but can't quite figure out the best type to use. Any advice would be appreciated, thanks!

27inch I'd assume?
ivory herald
yup
late condor
I was thinking of downgrading to 24inch on my current setup, the two 27's I have currently cover the whole desk space
ivory herald
24 inch 1080p?
late condor
Yeah, definitely. But holding a high hz rate
late condor
what would you suggest under 240?
ivory herald
whats ur budget
ivory herald
ok i found a good one
late condor
do share :)

Pretty nice, wanted to stick with ASUS range though
one I was looking at was the VG249QM1A
ivory herald
i found a 280hz dell monitor 24 inch for £170
IPS panel and gsync
perfect if u ask me
late condor
Pretty stuck with ASUS, I'll be honest. How about the ASUS VG249Q3A?
ivory herald
ill take a look
teal gyro
I would go for the gigabyte m27q
ivory herald
he wants a 24 inch monitor
late condor
yeah, 24 inch preferably
teal gyro
ooh
late condor
Appreciate all your help 🤞
ivory herald
its more expensive than both i mentioned, and it isnt gsyn compatible either
and lower hertz
paying more for less
is it okay, yes
late condor
Yeah, I wouldn't be surprised
late condor
well, lets think about £220-£250 per monitor, will need two of them for my work
so, if you can meet that range that's fine
ivory herald
24 inch yes?
late condor
if needed to go above 24, I don't mind
late condor
the msi one actually was one of the ones I was looking at first tbh
ivory herald
defo a great monitor
great colours
most of my friends grabbed it on sale and are super happy with it
late condor
with a 27% off, it's a pretty good steal i can't lie
ivory herald
exactly
late condor
hmmmm... very stuck on ideas here
my current are so bad 😭, need to switch up when the pc comes
how about this one?
late condor
anyone else got any suggestions?
late condor
or MSI's alternative
think i'll go with this one, appreciate your help
only thing that puts me off is the DP cables
never used them
late condor
this should support dp cables right?
stiff slate
never used them
All it is is a newer connection that HDMI, but has been around now for a while now anyway

Yep, its tells you it will 🙂 - the 4070ti I'd expect to have 3 DP ports
Though note, if youre ordering a Corsair cooler you do not need the extra thermal paste, Corsair include decent paste pre-applied to their coolers anyways, also I'd proabbly want a better cooler than that one youve picked for that CPU (or do you already have the PC?)

Yep 14700k at least need a 280mm, I'd chose 360mm (H150i)

Doubt it’d be a problem though right? I thought this too, but when asking for advice with an agent, they suggested not to
left harness
What agent?
Are you planning to do some render stuffs too with that?
I have 14700k, when I use cpu for rendering in blender it goes up to 80c-90c even with 360mm.
late condor

Not necessarily, I only do development work
late condor
What agent?
I actually couldn’t tell you, not entirely sure which one

Sorry, forgot to mention. I actually haven't received the pc yet, still in quality testing. I wasn't made aware of this in my conversation with the agent, surely it's not a problem I purchased the additional paste?
