Answer
That's a really tight budget for a good gaming monitor, you should definitely spend a little bit more and buy a monitor with 120hz refresh rate.

The HD 7870 is faster overall than a GTX 570, especially that the one I provided is an OC version, and not to mention that it is considerably more power efficient.

Are there any Monitors i can get that have Component input and have 1080p resolution?

gaming monitor for under 200 image

Connor

I figured it'd be better to buy a typical computer monitor to play my ps3 on, rather than an expensive HDTV. Are there any monitors out there that have component input (the red, yellow, and white wires) in the back, along with all that HDMI stuff so i can use the 1080p resolution? I dont care what the price as long as its under 200. Thanks (:

Answer
That's composite, sorry. It's quality is similar to analogue TV, so very poor (around a quarter of the resolution of Full HD).

You will want one with DVI or HDMI input rather than component which is blue green red + red and white for audio. Samsung build good quality monitors that should be more than sufficient for gaming. If it has a DVI input, you can buy a DVI - HDMI lead these days that is usually quite cheap.

Is there even a noticable difference when gaming on a 1920x1200 rez moniter rather than a 1920x1080 rez?

Q. I can't decide which moniter to get for my gaming rig, so i'm wondering is there really a huge difference between the quality and performance between these two when gaming? I know the 1920x1200 is considerably more expensive so i'm trying to figure out if it's really worth the price.

Answer
I'm wondering the same thing. Most 24" 1920x1200 monitors I find are around $260, while 1920x1080 monitors are easily under $200. 2.3 megapixels vs 2.0 megapixels. How does an additional .3 megapixels cost $80 more!?

EDIT: Looked up some prices and some reviews, and decided that 1920x1080 is better value. 1920x1200 is nicer, but it's geared more towards photo and video editors (hence the high price tags). Higher end IPS 1920x1200 monitors will be alot more expensive, and lower end 1920x1200 screens will be about the same quality.
