Monitors are expensive and uncommon at 42" or above (and most are ultrawide), any chance you meant 24"? Otherwise you are going to make things tough to do something sane as at that sort of size you are likely looking at a 4K monitor (or broadly equivalent ultrawide) so you will also want a quite premium graphics card. Something like a 42" monitor on a desk is generally thought of as too big and I suspect with that list of games at that budget a more normal, smaller, high refresh rate monitor is the way to go.

Yeah, was just thinking like tv size 😀, what would you advise based on budget? Thanks

I mean number 1 factor is how close would you be to the screen? Most people are playing at a desk rather than from couch. If you're at a desk a TV would be too big and you'd be better off with a 1440p 144hz monitor but if you want a big TV you'll need to sit back a bit to take it all in

Yeah a monitor that will complement the graphics card would be what's best I assume?
