OP I suggest you let durante pick your parts and monitor, he's the most unbiased person on the forum when it comes to this stuff and he's very knowledgeable about anything hardware and software related.
@ durante, since you're here
is there such a thing as a <200 euro (60hz, 1080p or 1200p) IPS with a decent overdrive function (no horrible ghosting) and decent response time
asking this for myself as on monday I'm picking up a benq rl2455hm tn panel because I've not been able to find anything better at that price range, but you never know if such a monitor came out recently I'd get that.
A 1080p monitor is laughable in 2015, period. And don't get a 144hz monitor either. It's one of those things that got incredibly hyped by their owners on the Internet because they feel like they need to justify their purchase. I owned a 120hz for almost two years and I was never impressed by it. Went back to 60hz last year and I didn't miss the high refresh rate a tiny bit.
Funny considering you still get tons of blur with just a 144hz monitor. The only way to eliminate it is through something like ULMB, which would be equalvent to running in 400hz+. And yet I don't think many people use ULMB on a regular basis, even if they could.
That's a result of how your eye perceives sample and hold... IPS , va and even oled all suffer from it in the same way (hence why the backlight strobing bandaid exists)
(I remember lcd tv manufacturers back in the day advertising sample and hold as a good thing and crt pulsing as a bad thing, dirty marketing clowns /spit)
The frames the monitor puts out are not blurred (take a picture of them and they are sharp), but the way it updates makes you see it as blurry in motion.
A higher refresh rate goes a long way to helping mitigate that sample and hold blur btw, which is why people swear by 144hz monitors and why a 60 hz low response time monitor (like the one I'm buying ) is SHIT in comparison. I'd get a 144hz one but my potato amd cpu can't drive it in games, I'll get one when I get a new pc)
Having the image be displayed blurred on the monitor to begin with is only going to make it ten times worse though.
That was why I suggested that
http://www.prad.de/new/monitore/test/2014/test-lg-24gm77-b-teil9.html monitor
Because:
-it's 144hz (mitigate sample and hold blur)
-has a good response time (mitigate lcd blur)
-has a nearly artifactfree overdrive mode (which is unheard of, usually you trade blur for trailing when you enable overdrive, here you get neither which makes it attractive)
-has backlight strobing for if you can deal with the reduced brightness and want crt like motion clarity
-costs 300 euros instead of 800
negative is it's missing gsync (though except for the rog swift most first gen gsync monitors have terrible panels and terrible backlight problems from reviews i've read)
has reasonable image quality
FOR TN STANDARDS, as in one eye is king of the blind
