What would you recommend for a monitor?
A high end CRT if you're serious about CS:GO.
I just want to play it for fun just a good monitor for gaming
Woah, Woah man, you don't just play CS:GO for fun okay, that is what CoD is for.
You'll want to spend a bunch of money on a 144hz panel, but if you don't want to do that, this AOC monitor is pretty solid and low priced for an IPS panel.

I can't play it serious with the pc I use atm. It gets a whole whopping 15fps even lower on the bigger maps
Should probably just shoot for the 1080p IPS panel then, or find a nice CRT on your local craigslist
