HNY everyone,

I recently purchased this Pre-Built Gaming PC from TechFast:

Intel Core i5 10400F Processor
120mm All-In-One Liquid CPU Cooler
Lance-V2 RGB [ATX] Case
Gigabyte B560M DS3H [M-ATX] Motherboard
NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 8GB LHR Graphics Card
16GB 3200MHz DDR4 RAM (2 x 8GB Modules)
1TB 2.5" Solid State Drive
600Mbps USB Wi-Fi Adapter

And I'd love some advice on the monitor to pair it with. My budget is around $500 and I'm currently looking at:

https://www.umart.com.au/product/gigabyte-27in-qhd-ips-170hz…
https://www.scorptec.com.au/product/monitors/25plus-inch/918…

I'll primarily be using the PC for gaming, specifically Warzone, Halo Infinite, Elden Ring, Starfield and other upcoming releases.

I appreciate everyone's time and knowledge on this, thanks.

Upon looking at the comparison the LG wins out, but putting it up against OzBargains favourite the Dell S2721DGF.

Dell has better ergonomics, LG has better black uniformity and colour pre calibration, otherwise both are similar.

  Cheers, I hadn't considered a Dell. This also looks like a strong contender:

    Just be aware that the S2722DGM you linked is a VA panel, where the LG, MSI and Dell S2721DGF are IPS.
    
    It just depends if you will prefer a VA over IPS panel.

Personally I like the 34" 144Hz 1440p widescreen monitors like https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/659870.

We're in the same boat right now, I'm very frustrated because I bought a brand new, top of the line prebuilt gaming rig and I still can't find a good deal on a monitor.
My top two choice right now is the LG 27GP83B vs Dell 2721DGF (https://www.rtings.com/monitor/tools/compare/lg-27gp83b-b-vs…) — they are basically the same monitor in the same price range with very minor difference.
I think it will just all come down to which one is better in terms of price.

I wanted to buy the LG 27GP850 for the 180hz overclocked refresh but the difference of $200+ for a measly 15hz is not very enticing.

  Yeah I feel you, not a lot of sales right now. Any day now!

  Also, just a heads up the Dell 2721DGF is currently $486.25 here with the code SPSAVER: https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/334147913393?epid=24044576609&ha…
