SkyTech Blaze II PC

Buzzedlitebeer · Oct 17, 2021

Hi im getting the sketch blaze ii pc. I am not savvy with tech stuff - I just like playing games. The computer and keyboard are on the way. I already have the mouse. The monitor, though...I have no idea what to get that is compatible. I'm not trying to spend a huge amount of money.

Here's some stats

Processor: AMD Ryzen 5 3600 6-Core 3.6 GHz (4.2 GHz Max Boost) processor
Video Card: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1660 6GB Video Card (Brand may vary)
Memory: 16GB DDR4 3000 Gaming Memory with Heat Spreader

I hope someone can give me some sort of suggestion that is budget-friendly. Thank you.

Hi and welcome

Whats your exact budget and what country are you in?

For your graphics card generally I'd be looking at a 1080p (FHD) resolution monitor. Exactly what kind of monitor would depend on how much money youre going to spend.

I'm probably looking around 300? Preferably less. I spent all the money on the computer itself 😅

USD I'm guessing then?

I think 1080p for your Graphics card is a good match. Whether you want a 27" or 24/25 inch screen is up to you. Personally I think 1080p doesn't look very sharp on sizes over 25" but that's subjective and some people prefer the bigger screen over all else.

RTings do really good testing for monitors, I trust their reviews.

Indeed they do—I run 2 x 42" TVs as monitors @ 1080p! My ancient eyes are quite happy. @Buzzedlitebeer if that is of interest, here are a few articles from my notes:
