That was very interesting and well produced with good , informative visuals . I leave completely satisfied , but also not particularly lusting for more helicopter videos . Perfect video <| sep |> Start with a goal to build toward and a budget . Your goal should be a resolution and a FPS number . For your $ 1000 budget I would suggest maybe going for 1080 p at 144 FPS , alternately you could go for 1440 p at 60 FPS . Next pick a monitor for your goal , I suggest this first as the price can vary greatly eating into your budget significantly . You can then use whatever you have left to put the final build together , or maybe find out it ' s just not possible at your budget . Be aware when you look at benchmarks for graphics cards that they are all run at max settings for consistency , you can turn down and tweak the settings to get the FPS you desire within reason .
