I know this is my oldest monitor https://www.computerlounge.co.nz/shop/peripherals/monitors/gaming-monitors/asus-tuf-gaming-vg27aq-27-wqhd-165hz-ips-gaming-monitor
And this is my youngest https://www.samsung.com/latin_en/monitors/high-resolution/uhd-monitor-28-inch-lu28e590ds-za/
As I still have the recites with the make and model on them. I keep all emails and recites with such purchases because if anything goes wrong..
So there's some confusion, the monitor I originally mentioned is what my oldest has. I'm not sure of the specs as it was a computer longue prebuild with a few tweaks brought last year and not showing now.
My youngest has this monitor with the 2060 and his games seem to be ok.
However the games you are playing don't need the highest FPS aka you aren't playing fast pace shooters.
You are playing more chill games so pretty much any monitor you like would work out for you.
Maybe have a look in a store if you have one close by?
My youngest, the one with the Samsung, plays 7days, ikerus, Minecraft, oxygen not included, Conan, fallout 4, red dead 2, son's of the forest, space engineers, the long dark, no man sky, batman Arkham knight. Would he be better with something else?
The youngest PC not need to work 4 x times as hard and their PC will seem like it goes faster.... mind you speak to them first or they might get feel like they "lost" in the trade
If they were happy you to take use the Samsung, as the I5 will be a bit more power and will be able to run the games you want.
Your youngest will be fine for most of their games on the current samsung screen but games like batman and Red Dead Redemption will struggle to run aat 4k and will seem like he has a "slow: PC when he doesn't. It just isn't a PC built to game at 4k resolution.
I just clocked this "Aka PC needs to run 4 x as hard at 4K"
Would that be part of the reason his fan seems to run an awful lot and be a bit loud? I've only bought air cooled as I remember the days when the liquid cooled had real issues and we are certainly not doing any over clocking or messing with the bios (I know enough to know I don't know enough to mess with all that)
Ok so I think I'm getting it. My son, with the i7 and 2060gpu would probably be better with something like AOC 27G2SP 27" FHD 165Hz Gaming Monitor?
Yes, His games will have more frames, which means more FPS, which will mean a smoother experience, usually with less heat and noise.
This also means your son, with the i7 and 2060gpu doesn't ask to upgrade their computer because they can still play all the games including the big blockbuster ones.
Downside is screen is a smaller.
If you son wants the same or similar real world physical sized screen but still at 1080p then you could look at this one

The monitor was recommended by all y'all, the majority thought that it would be good for that PC. So my question then is would that be the monitor you'd stick with on that PC? He's running games similar to his brother. His was bought with a view to not having to upgrade any time soon.

Re monitor, if gaming avoid anything with a VA panel unless a high end Sumsung monitor. Bad response times and especially dark level smearing. IPS 144Hz+ monitor is the way to go. A 3060 is capable easily of pushing 160Hz refresh rates at 1080 and even 1440p in older games and/or with the settings turned down low. Depends on the game and your priority re prettiness vs smoothness and clarity.

That PC is a beast machine, The ASUS TUF Gaming VG27AQ 27" WQHD 165hz IPS HDR10 Gaming Monitor works great with it.
Great, think I'll do that re youngest monitor, suggestion talk them first so they do not see it as a downgrade.
If you wanted to sell your Samsung 4K monitor, then going the same monior as the youngest works too.
However if budget is tight, try the Samsung 4k with the new i5 system and see how you like it, can always change monitors up later.
Yes my oldest was sending his savings so we definitely wanted to get it right with the best longevity. So that's good. That monitor stays put, I'll try my youngest and see how it does with the i5. Should I expect the Samsung to make the i5 work hard? Sorry if that's not the right terminology.
I, myself, have looked at 2nd hand systems but the prices I've found I'm better buying new.
