UHD/QHD PC monitors are sooo flipping expensive... I am looking for recommendations that won't bankrupt me or force me to downgrade other components in the gaming rig I am piecing together...

I want:
1440p - full UHD not at my price point I don't think
g-sync - nvidia gpu, prob 1080 maybe 980 depending on price break when 1080/1070 become more stable in the retail supply chain
IPS - should I care about this?
low latency <5ms - what is the highest latency that won't put me at a disadvantage versus the competition?
27' or larger - I would love a 34' but, again, quality models seem beyond the budget I am trying to maintain

So many factors in purchasing a new display that won't empty every shekel from my man-purse... I am in US EST and or course expect to obtain most components via online sources... Many thanks in advance for your thoughts! o7

EDIT: meant nvidia gpu, not intel

I just ordered this:

That only has free sync which I will be paring with dual rx480s next month once they are released.

I know you said you want to go with either the 1080 or 1070 but I recommend you take a good look at this setup as when it comes to staying on budget and getting top level performance you are not going to beat it.

2 rx480s - $400 total
1 gtx 1080 $800

both setups deliver very similar performance in terms of frame rate output with the gtx ever so slightly taking the win.

1440p gsync monitor at 30 inches+ you are looking at around $800
4k freesync monitor from above is just under $600 including shipping

Total for nvidia + gsync @ 1440p roughly $1600 dont expect this to drop by more than $100 any time soon.
Total for amd + freesync and 40 inch 4k $1000

The monitor I posted will do 4k @ 60hz and that scales all the way down to 1080p @ 120hz meaning 1440 would land you around 80hz.

Either way AMD is going to be your absolute choice when it comes to staying on a budget. Nvidia G-Sync is much more locked down in terms of who is allowed to use it which drives up their price. AMD has also 100% killed it with their price to performance ratio on the rx480. The $400 is referencing 2 of the 4GB versions but 8GB versions will be available at an increased price. I am guessing the 8GB version to be around $275 putting a dual setup around $550 which still absolutely destroys the gtx 1080 in terms of price.

The BenQ XL2730z is great 1440p, 144Hz, 1ms, freesync monitor for about 500$. If you really cant wait for Amd and want gsync only, get the 1070 instead of the 980 (way better perfs and cheaper) and pay the 700$ for gsync at 1440p ^^ "I hope we don't have vehicles simply so we don't have to deal with the people who drive them." -Ripley Riley

Hey guys I just received my monitor that I mentioned above and got it set up. First of all those guys do not play on shipping. They shipped it directly from Seoul, South Korea on Friday after noon and it was dropped off mid day today (Monday) by DHL. Dead pixel test = ZERO. The seller guarantees no more than 5 but I have yet to talk to anyone that had more than 2. The sound is actually pretty darn good. I had already planned on adding a sound bar since usually speakers are the first thing to get cut when you enter the cheap side but that will not be necessary for the time being. The picture quality is phenomenal. I did a side by side with a samsung 4k TV duplicating the output from my PC and while the RGB could use a slight adjustment the picture quality itself was very very similar. I can confirm that freesync is present but will not be able to test until after the rx480 is released. I will be doing a more in depth review after I get my rx480s and set this up with freesync running next month. If you use your amazon store card you also get 5% cash back making the price closer to $550 making this the hands down best deal you could ever get. If anyone wants a couple pics just let me know and I will snap a couple. FAREWELL 514 /// FAREWELL CCP UNTIL WE HAVE NOVA OR FOREVER WHICH EVER ONE COMES FIRST
