The best Freesync monitor options for the price will be:
Samsung C34F791 (3440x1440) - This ultra wide looks will not enable LFC.:(
Pixio PX277 or AOC Agon AG241QX (2560x1440)
AOC G2460PF or Acer KG240A (1920x1080)

The other options are either equivalent on specs, but more expensive, or have Freesync support just in paper.

Update... Found a review and the Samsung does infact supports LFC. The rule is now 2x the lower frame rate, not 2.5x as used to be.

I'm happy with the ViewSonic XG2401. Works perfect for my needs. As for the future GPU purchase, I am going to wait until Vega is out (whenever they decide to release ><). Luckily the old Radeon HD6950 is enough to handle Diablo 3 and World of Warships at high settings. Not going to replace it immediately unless it dies. My GTX 970 is also plenty for the time being. Been using fast sync and like it more than v sync so far.

I always use adaptive vertical sync in the Nvidia drivers. Whats the benefit of G-Sync or Freesync monitors over that and a regular monitor?
