It looks like the XG2402 is also at an all time low on Amazon according to CCC:
Others have already commented some pretty good builds and mentioned that its way overkill for Overwatch (you could spend less than half this and still run Overwatch at 144Hz on ultra), so I'll focus on a different aspect.
Get a better monitor.
The Acer GN246HL is widely known as the worst 144Hz monitor on the market. It's old, uses PWM dimming (causes eye strain and headaches in some people), and has poor colors comparatively. You'll find people telling you its great, and see good amazon reviews, but for a huge portion of those people it will be the first/only 144Hz they've owned. There are so many better ones now.
I'd look into this one. Yes, it's a little more expensive. But if you're dropping 2k on a PC, don't skimp on the thing that's going to be displaying all that power to you. It's superior to that Acer in every way.
You'll be looking at that monitor for many years and for many people they last through multiple builds. Get a good one.
If you can wait until Black Friday, this Viewsonic on Amazon is heavily recommended and tends to go on sale for < $300 CAD.
That refresh rate is going to frustrate you. Better than a TV, maybe, but still not going to do what you’re trying to achieve. I went with this model about a year ago, it’s nothing special but checks all the boxes and for the money I’ve been very happy

it's harder to find a shitty 144hz monitor but it's possible. besides how fast it is, i'd say you're mostly looking for picture quality. do you want 1440p or 1080p, and how are the colors?
i have been using this one for a couple years and i have nothing but good things to say about it. It has a decent speaker that I use with exclusive audio to help make it as close to crt as possible.

I love mine so much, have zero complaints about it.
Currently I have this 24 inch tn panel monitor as my main. I am looking for a secondary monitor to use vertically, but don't know any good ones. The buying guides I've looked at also don't really go into ideal vertical secondary monitors.
Since it will be sideways and I need a nicer viewing angle, I think I would like IPS. I also prefer that I don't need to buy a mount to stand it vertically, so it has a stand that allows it to flip in the box. I don't care about hz as long as it is at least 1080p 60hz.
I also would prefer so I don't really have to tilt my head looking at it, so would another 24 inch be too big? This I am least confident about, but I think maybe a 22-20 inch would be best suited for the job.
This is the least important, but since it will be next to my main (which already has quite large bezels) I would prefer for it to have smaller bezels.
Sorry if it seems I'm picky, but to someone like me (quite new to tech and monitor purchasing) most of what I listed seems like common sense to a manufacturer. I am also not super sure what size the monitor would be. I'm imagining smaller than 24" would be ideal, but maybe someone who has that size can tell me what they think about it?
Thanks for reading my post!
Don't get a 1440p monitor for the PS5 unless Sony confirms native 1440p support. Look for a monitor with 1080p 120hz+ support over hdmi like the XG2402.
https://www.amazon.ca/ViewSonic-XG2402-FreeSync-Advanced-Ergonomics/dp/B075D1B4SV This is a really popular pick and fits under your budget. I actually have one, although it is now my second monitor. My main monitor is a 240hz panel.
The XG2402 is a TN panel, but it seems like you play competitive titles, so I think it is a good fit. There are some IPS panels, but they approach exceeding your budget.
^ This is a great setup, I just built a very similar build for my GF with a used Asus Strix 580 8GB and the same Motherboard. It runs great!
If you are willing to go the used route, check out r/CanadianHardwareSwap, you might be able to save some $$ and get a monitor like this (ViewSonic XG2402).
Oh well then I 100% recommend it. Check it out on amazon . BUT, I’d see what happens after you install the card first. Just pay close attention.

I'm currently using this one
I'm looking to get build a PC in the January sales targeting 144 Hz @ 1080p playing Battlefield as the most intensive game. I've been out of the PC building game for 5 years, so my rig is beyond showing its age! However, I can reuse the SSD and HDD, but I was wondering if I would be able to salvage some parts :
1) Corsair TX650W PSU - Is it beefy enough with the right connectors for any of the GPUs I am going to want to use?
2) Corsair H70i CPU cooler - Is it compatible, or can it be made compatible with the AM4 socket? Or would I have to go Intel if I wanted to keep this. (Is overclocking ryzen even worth it?)
3) Is the XG2402 still the standard for a decent 144 Hz monitor? It seems there is a decent deal on at the moment for £219
4) Is it better to sell the old components separately? Or as a CPU/Mobo/Ram/GPU combo?
Thanks!
$250, but the best 1080p144hz monitor there is
/r/monitors for more advice. I can try and find some good cheaper monitors. RTings.com is really good for reviews too
The benchmark reports that you had a very high background CPU usage (33%), which makes the whole test pretty inaccurate. Most likely you had something opened up (maybe a browser tab with a video running in the background) that was taking up a bit of your machine's resources, which made the overall performance score to be worse than expected.
​
I'm pretty sure your PC is just fine, you shouldn't worry to much about it. Also the r9 270x, while definitely not a top of the line GPU (it never was), should still be enough in order to allow you to hover around 120-144fps in games where you usually want to have those framerates (Fortnite, CS:GO, stuff like that). This is because to achieve those high numbers you're usually going to rely more on your CPU, which in your case is slightly better than your GPU.
​
What I'd advise you is to get an SSD asap since it'll vastly improve your load speeds and it'll basically feel like you did an upgrade to your whole PC. It won't help you get higher FPS in games but you'll notice that loading speeds on pretty much everything will be much smaller than what you're used to.
​
After that, you can upgrade your GPU to something like the GTX 1060 or an RX 480/580, which is more than enough for 1080p60fps with the settings cranked to max.
​
The monitor you mentioned is quite old and afaik not even in production anymore, so unless you're getting a really good deal on it I'd suggest looking after something newer like the ViewSonic XG2402 .
Re: prime day deals:
this monitor is on sale for a great price
Also idk if you are getting a sale on that 1070 ti but if you look at r/buildapcsales you can get a 1080 for ~500
I'm gonna go with the one you recommended! seems like a lot of people liked the xg2401, so the 2402 should be better! but one question, is this out? people are saying its no out until late january. But they have it on amazon so idk if they are talking about a different one than im looking at. Thanks! Just want to make sure i have the right one: Amazon Link: https://www.amazon.com/ViewSonic-XG2402-FreeSync-Monitor-DisplayPort/dp/B075D1B4SV If you could tell me if this is the right one id really appreciate it. I'm new to the monitor thing!
@OP, Austin. Bros, go for XG2402, I remember its on discount now 235 so you lost only 60 bucks for even better tn panel :) From what I know of Omen by Hp. It is pretty good built but preset color and calibrated color is what XG2402/2401 have over it. But regardless, I think both is good deal :) as I can voucher for both product.
Also just purchased the XG2401, Might send it back and wait for the 2402. Amazon UK has it down for a November 1st release date
Wow, when you said Amazon inflates their prices you weren't kidding
It's really outdated for a 144hz monitor. Best to just go with something like this https://www.amazon.com/ViewSonic-XG2402-FreeSync-Monitor-DisplayPort/dp/B075D1B4SV
I don't think it was a higher refresh rate that did it, but instead just plasmas/early LCDs of the time having a high input delay.
Also, 144hz isn't that expensive anymore. I remember I once bought a 320 dollar 144hz that turned out to be fake 144hz (displays at 144hz, but skips every two frames, bringing it back to around 60hz) Around that price point nowadays, you can get 240hz
Isn’t this like a really good deal? I was gonna get this monitor but this Acer one seems to be the completely better choice.
Their spec sheet doesn't state it, and PCMonitors states (guess? assumes?) 48-144hz.
> The comments on Amazon say that the effective range is 47-75
Here's the listing for Amazon - https://smile.amazon.com/ViewSonic-XG2402-FreeSync-Monitor-DisplayPort/dp/B075D1B4SV/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_product_top?ie=UTF8
For whatever reason, ViewSonic lumped it in with 3 other monitors. Those reviews could be for any of those other 3 monitors, or other monitors that were previously part of that combined listing. As of this post, there are 387 reviews there. That's quite a bit for a limited release or unreleased monitor, don't ya think? :)
I found the review you're talking about though:
> This monitor has a 48 to 75 hz freesync range - what that means is, as long as each frame is between 1/48th and 1/75th of a second after the prior frame, the monitor will refresh precisely when the next frame is ready, rather than its normal refresh timing cycle. If the framerate drops to 45 fps, or if it goes up to 80 fps, freesync will no longer have any impact.
The review was posted March 29, 2016. It's not for this monitor. It appears to be a review of this monitor - https://smile.amazon.com/ViewSonic-XG2402-FreeSync-Monitor-DisplayPort/dp/B018MYTH9U/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_product_top?ie=UTF8&th=1
This is the monitor I am getting - https://www.amazon.com/dp/B075D1B4SV/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_yAoiFb3JJ0P43
They will have a viewsonic for 170ish I believe. But it’s not 1440. So as others have said I don’t think Prime day will beat this

For me it was important to find a monitor with low response, 144hz to 240hz refresh rate, low input lag, and if it is freesync/gsync compatible. I wanted every advantage I could get.
The Predator has higher response time than a select amount of TN monitors. It wouldn't be to noticeable for most however. I noticed it comparing it to my Acer Predator XB271HU. The Acer won the race in regards to picture. Not to say the Viewsonic looks bad. It looks fine to me, but more specializes for the purpose I need, and has almost no input lag. My other Monitor was a ISP panel from LG that claimed 1ms time, but I had to disable other things to enable 1ms making it look shitty, and tear. Such as the Freesync/Gsync that is used for smoothing of motions. It also had to much input lag.
depending on the system your playing will effect what refresh rate I think you should be looking for.
If console 60-144hz. If PC id suggest 120 to 240hz.
I've had my current monitor for like 3 weeks. It was the upgrade I wanted. Playing on my regular TV in comparison was night, and day. Compared to my other monitors like I said it's a slight upgrade. You get a little bit faster response time, in exchange for missing out on 4k. If you want a great 4K I tested, and plan to buy that is very close in response I'd suggest the
BenQ EL2870U 28 or Samsung C27HG70. I tested both and they look amazing, while keeping pretty close to the Viewsonic's response time.
​
If you have a 240hz graphic card limit, and play PC probably the BenQ ZOWIE XL2540
With all this being said I'm not a pro. Just did A LOT of digging, and research.
​
I'm using a 24 Inch 1080p 144 Hz, this thing
Check out the ViewSonic-XG2402
If you search reddit for that model, there's lots of happy people with that one.
Is this a good monitor?
I usually play games like CoD and Dark Souls
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B075D1B4SV/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_fab_JvHCFb6WS2ZTR
Will all free sync monitors support nvidia?
This for example?
Would the "ColorX" option on Amazon be good? https://www.amazon.com/ViewSonic-XG2401-FreeSync-Advanced-Ergonomics/dp/B075D1B4SV?th=1 The other option that just says 24 Inch has $400 price tags.
Any idea what would be $40 better about the Viewsonic XG2402 besides just being the newer model? It says "24 inch Color-x" on the amazon page for the 2402.
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B075D1B4SV/ref=cm_sw_r_apa_i_5T8IEbXX2HZJC
Go for "gsync compatible" aka nvidia-approved freesync. You need SOME sort of "adaptive sync".
XG2402 is a TN and freesync for $200. It's the most recommended 1080p144hz monitor for people who don't watch movies.
For $300 you can upgrade to a nano-IPS VS279Q, or a VA CFG73 if that's your thing, but that's also more like $300.
Hey! As of right now its back up for sale, dont know for how long, i just grabbed mine

FYI the sweet spot for 1080p gaming is 24". There are a number of them right now that are way cheaper. Go with something like the G2590FX which is really popular lately or the Viewsonic XG2402 . Also your PC will be teetering on the edge of 1440p play. So for the price of your current monitor, you can get a sweet 1440p, 144hz monitor.
I can help, there's a few of them.
Recommendations:
$220, XG2402, TN panel, good colors <em>with tweaking</em>
Probably the XG2402 or the G2590FX. Both popular on Reddit. I personally prefer the G2590FX and it's a little cheaper right now.

It's OK. It's an older option, but decent. I'm not sure if that is the PWM or non-PWM version, but the Viewsonic XG2402 is better, and a little cheaper
First off, before you even think about investing in a 144Hz monitor, can your GPU give you the framerate you want in this game?
Beyond that, monitor technology is to the point where everything is pretty good. The more expensive ones support things like HDR or are ultrawides.
You have three panel techs, TN, VA, and IPS. TN is the older tech, it is cheaper to make and tends to have better response times. IPS has superior color and viewing angle, but the response times and refresh rates suffer as a result. VA panels are in the middle. You can still get excellent response times on VA and IPS monitors, but they will be a lot more expensive as a result.
Viewsonic and Acer makes some really good 1080p 144Hz monitors. They offer great budget TN panels. You can get 24 inches 1080p for about $200.
Viewsonic is probably the best budget option.
Samsung has some VA panel for a bit more. You'll get a nicer image.
If you have a good graphics card and are ok with spending a bit more Acer has a good 1440p monitor.
If you start going into higher end tech like HDR the prices start to go way up.

looking at this one, why is better than the asus? just because of the no PWM?
I am planning on getting a GTX 1070TI + Ryzen 5 2600 in 1-2 months but I want a monitor now for my ps4 in the meantime. What is the best 24" monitor to go with in the $200 ish range (up to $350 if it is a big difference in quality)?
Build list here and I've been looking at this 24" viewsonic.
Should I get a 24" 1080p 144hz or should I focus on getting a 1440p 144hz? Games would be the typical Fortnite, PubG, LoL, CS:GO, BF etc. I haven't built a PC in 5-6 years and I am pretty behind..haha.
Plan on getting a cheap $100 ish 60hz 24" monitor to run a dual setup for twitch discord reddit etc.

Deal seems to be absent from Amazon.com atm for some reason. Possibly sold out in the states.
I think that would be a good plan! The Asus you have in your list is quite an old one, doesn't have freesync, and isn't flicker free. This Viewsonic would be your best bet for 1080p 144hz https://www.amazon.com/ViewSonic-XG2402-FreeSync-Monitor-DisplayPort/dp/B075D1B4SV/ref=sr_1_1_sspa?ie=UTF8&qid=1530373282&sr=8-1-spons&keywords=xg2401&psc=1
It's much newer and has amazing reviews. Hope this helps!
EDIT: Also the build looks good too, but you power supply is definitely a lot more than you need. You could save a bit of money there if you went for a smaller one. Your parts picker list suggest 404w, so you could go with a 600w, or a 750w like this: https://www.amazon.com/CORSAIR-RM750x-Modular-Supply-Certified/dp/B015YEI9NQ/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1530373749&sr=8-1&keywords=corsair&#37;2Bgold&#37;2Bpsu&th=1
or even this would be great (same one I have) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01N18J52E/ref=twister_B01N4WK47K?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1
I'd recommend this monitor instead. It's the successor of the XG2401 and is pretty much state of the art in terms of monitors.
Does IPS vs TN make a big difference?
Edit: I really appreciate your help and am sorry to keep bugging you. The Viewsonic XG2402 and this BenQ Zowie Monitor are the same price. For the most part they seem like the same thing. Reviews seem pretty good for both of them. Any I always hear people raving about BenQ monitors. Any thoughts?
If you're spending that much, just get the ViewSonic XG2402.

However the strobing function of the other monitors might be useful, depending on your gameplay style. Strobing adds a few ms of input lag, but clears up motion blur.
From BlurBusters:
>Some gameplay tactics in CS:GO will benefit from faster human reaction-times from less motion blur, out-compensating the slight input lag penalty. Whether the slight lag penalty is worth it, depends on you as a gamer & the types of game, and the gameplay tactics you use.
I've been looking around for more, but I stumbled on this one..
How does this compare to the two you listed?

this monitor instead, 27 inch on 1080p looks horrible, the pixel density is simply to low!

The one i added in the list is not the latest model
faster ram
slightly better board
bigger hdd
btw https://www.amazon.co.uk/ViewSonic-XG2401-FreeSync-DisplayPort-Speakers/dp/B075D1B4SV?th=1 is the 2017 any worse?
Trying to decide between that and this one...

EDIT: IPS and $10 cheaper vs having sound and better customer service....sounds like IPS is the way to go?
Good suggestion! How do you think this one compares for nearly the same price?
This monitor is commonly referred to as the best "budget" 144Hz monitor - good colours, decent (for TN) viewing angles, has DisplayPort input (look for the cheaper monitors to only have DVI-D, HDMI does not support 144Hz, only DP or DVI-D do).
Alternatively, I created a PC PartPicker filter for 24" 144Hz 1080p-1440p monitors. This should be a good starting off point. Do some research on these kinds of monitors before you buy, there is lots of variation from monitor to monitor.
I literally just answered this to someone else so copypasta:
There are a number of them right now. Go with something like the G2590FX which is really popular lately or the Viewsonic XG2402 .
