I'm looking for a new monitor to replace my main so I can use my main as a second monitor. I mainly use my pc to game. I dont know how high of quality monitor that my gpu can support so I'll drop my main specs.

I7 9700F
GTX 1660 Ti 6gb
Currently play on a 1080p 165hz 1ms response time monitor.

Budget? Not sure, preferably not break the bank worthy but I do Just want a few different monitor options (quality, hz etc)

Depends entirely on your budget and currency, as well as what exactly you're using the system for.

I most likely would recommend not bothering with a monitor upgrade right now though tbh. Your 1660Ti is a good match for 1080p165Hz but it won't hold up too well at higher resolutions IMO.
If it were me, I'd just save the money for now, then upgrade GPU + monitor at the same time, probably to something like an RTX 3060/3070 and 1440p144Hz.

USD?

If you're going to be buying a monitor anyway, then you'll likely appreciate having a 1440p144Hz monitor when you upgrade GPU. So, here's a couple of 1440p144Hz monitors;

bhphotovideo.com/c/product/140691..._with.html

If I was just buying 1080p144Hz right now, I'd get this;
amazon.com/ViewSonic-VX2458-C-MHD...amp;sr=8-1

and if you just want a cheap 1080p panel as a secondary monitor;
amazon.com/LG-22MK430H-B-21-5-Inc...amp;sr=8-1
