Monitor Hunting

Hardware Hub Build a PC

So I need a new monitor because mine hates me. 

Here is what I'll be doing...

- Playing games on 1280x720 (this is what my APU processor does best)

- Watching movies 

 

Here is my PC...

That does look pretty good. Do you know how that stacks up speaker wise?

Would getting something with recommended resolution of 1280x720 be too bad because that is what I'll be playing my games on. I'd like a monitor that specializes in that.

... why? higher res is always better, and a 1080p monitor can display 720p just fine. your movies will probably be in 1080. there is absolutely no reason to get a crappy monitor when a good one will fit in the price range.
