What's the budget for the upgrade?

You could get something with a high refresh rate and some form of adaptive sync. It would be appropriate for the spec, and improve the gaming experience,

Want to keep it as low as possible ideally, is there anything worth buying that's around £200? or would it be better to just stick with my current monitor at that budget?

 

[Oussebon]

Your current monitor costs a little over £200, which is normal for a basic 1440p monitor.

You're not going to get much of a meaningful upgrade on that for less money

It's not like GPUs where every year or two you can buy something better for less cash, monitor prices don't change much.

Alright thanks, i'll just stick with the monitor I've got then I am keen to try out gaming at higher refresh rates though but i'll wait until my monitor gets a bit older.
