Just finished a build around a 9800X3D and RTX 5070 Ti. Work remotely for about 16 hours a day so screen real estate honestly matters more to me than chasing high refresh rates.

I mostly play Total War, Shogun 2, Rome II, Three Kingdoms, and the rest of the series. On the FPS side I still play Fortnite here and there, clocked hundreds of hours in Apex a few years back, dabbled in Valorant and Marvel Rivals. FPS is not really my thing anymore though, barely have time and when I do sit down strategy is just way more satisfying after a long work day.

Really looking forward to Total War: Warhammer 40k, Game of Thrones: War for Westeros, and Dawn of War IV. Also planning to grab Helldivers II and Warhammer 40k: Space Marine II when they go on sale.

Here is where I am coming from with monitors:

• AOC G2590PX — 25 inch, 144Hz, 1ms, FreeSync. It is on a monitor arm now which I just got recently and honestly it is one of the best things I have done for my desk setup, so much freed up space. This one is VESA compatible so no issues there.
• N-Vision — 27 inch, 60Hz, no sync, nothing. The most basic monitor you can imagine. The stand is fixed too, you cannot even remove it, which means no monitor arm for this one. I actually had to buy a separate PC tabletop riser just to get it to a decent height because it angles downward otherwise. It is functional but it is a pain. Haha.

So right now I am on a dual setup with both of them. Neither of them are doing justice to an RTX 5070 Ti and 9800X3D. That is the honest situation.

I am leaning toward 32 to 34 inches mostly because of work, 16 hours a day in front of a screen means more real estate would genuinely help. But I am also open to being told a really good 27 inch is the smarter call if the value argument is there. Not married to a size, just want the right answer.

Budget wise, just going to be upfront since I know someone will ask. I just upgraded my whole PC so funds are tight right now. I would rather not go past PHP 50,000 (~$800 USD) on a monitor. That said if someone recommends something slightly above that and the value genuinely makes sense for what I described, I am willing to save a few extra months and just get the right one. I am staring at this thing for 16 hours a day so I do not want to cheap out, but I also need to be realistic about where I am right now. Drop your recommendation and if it goes a bit over, tell me why it is worth it and I will consider it.

I work remotely for about 16 hours a day as a Virtual Assistant and game for an hour or two when I get the chance.
