replacing a VG248QE

[Gus]

I have 2 options from what PCs have in stock atm plus my willing to pay vs the best of the best price. My old monitor is starting to indicate it needs retired, with the no DP signal error triggering a lot in last few days.

So restrictions if you have others in mind, max £400 / 144hz at least / ideally 24 inch but no bigger than 27 inch as space is an issue with the tower, I am trying to keep a foot of free air around the tower on a corner table [ Monitor left / Tower in middle / Printer on right ]

So these 2 come up inside my requirements but both have reviewers singing there praises, but reviews and actual gamers see things differently, so have at it.

Please could you post your build specs?
PCS honestly don't have a great monitor selection, you can get more choice and better prices if you shop around.
With £400 budget I would probably be looking at a 27 inch 1440p 144hz display, but I'll reassess once I see your specs.

was trying to buy from them to support them in first instance why I posted on this forum rather than elsewhere but my build https://www.pcspecialist.co.uk/saved-configurations/amd-am4-gen3-pc/6M3jsBwgY3/ the GPU was changed to a 3090 to speed up my order

Ok, had a look at your specs. You've got an absolute monster of a system here, what are you planning to use it for besides gaming?
I'm also confused on your willingness to splash out £1500 for a GPU and only £400 for a monitor. To make use of the GPU you'll need to spend upwards of £800 on a 4k 144hz display, otherwise it would be well worth downgrading to the 3070 and getting a solid 1440p monitor with the money saved.

Gaming PC setup re what to install the OS on?

This build I am thinking of 500GB sata Samsung 860 EVO OS drive and a 2TB SEAGATE FIRECUDA as the 1st storage/main games drive plus 2nd storage of a 4TB SEAGATE IRONWOLF so I can easily backup games from the M2 drive to it for easy space management, the joys of steam and modern huge games. But...

A few of my colleagues have posted some very solid amendments on this thread. I would highly recommend taking another look at them.

Because my current monitor is dying and I need a quick replacement, I had planned on something to do it justice by June but my current one has been saying I'm dying for last 3 days so trying to get another asap as none my old backup monitors have DP only HDMI 1.4 at best as the Zotac 3090 only has DP and HDMI 2.1
