Greetings everyone. First timer posting here so I hope I am doing this right.
Currently I am using a decent PC setup to game mostly on FPS games like BF4, Borderlands and possibly Overwatch in future as I do enjoy any shooters with satisfying 60fps plus but felt I might need more in 1080p resolution.
So I got a problem on my BenQ 22inch monitor, as it's got a dead pixel on the left side of a screen on upper side and couldn't fix it in anyway. Not that it's bothered me too much but can still be distracting when I am gaming.
This is my hardware list at the moment.
CPU: Intel i3-4160
Motherboard: Gigabyte B85M-U3H
CPU Cooler: BeQuiet Pure Rock
RAM: HyperX 8GB DDR3 performance RAM
SSD: Patriot Blast 240GB SSD
Hard Drive: 1TB Western Digital Blue 7200 rpm
PSU: Seasonic 620w S12II 80+ Bronze
GPU: Asus GTX 680 Direct CU II TOP 2GB DDR5
Current Monitor: BenQ GW2270 1080p (one dead pixel)
Now my only concern is...which upgrade should I invest on?
I am still very comfortable in 1080p and had no desire to jump 1440p yet as I want a much smoother experience without too big a display. A 24 inch would be my sweet spot.
But at the same time, I wanted to experience 144hz refresh rate with my shooters.
Is that doable with my current setup or should I upgrade my GPU first before getting a new display monitor and bear with the dead pixel?
Any suggestions would be appreciated, thanks.
P.s: I have no need for GSync for the time being.
