I get what you mean and I agree that Scan has screwed up with you. And given that the Swift has a 2560x1440 res., your card will suffer even more despite the G-Sync.

But I have to agree with your friend. There are three components on every PC that no one should skimp on but most do: Monitor, keyboard and mouse. And the reason is very simple, they will be your tools when using your PC. With a bad monitor you may end with red eyes, with a bad keyboard your wrists can suffer and if a mouse is not comfy... well, it will always feel odd. And they usually also last longer than your average PC.

For me average keyboards have served me fine, with mice I tend to go for ones that cost up to £30-35 but never any higher and go for larger mats. The monitor deal is why I'll settle for at least £300-50 and no higher because to me I don't see greater returns for spluring  any higher, I already noted that I splurged on the 980 and so far it's not giving me 100% returns for the majority of games I play which is why I'm more or less doubting Nvidia now more than ever and starting to wonder if AMD will really step up their game. That and screen tearing or horrible Vsync options give me no choice but to go for a monitor that can talk with ym GPU since full screen border window mode isn't supported by every game and some that do seem to mess that up as well. I basically want my 60fps as constant and as fluid as possible, hitches tend to break immersion for me easily and bore me out of playing the game which is why I stopped bothering with GTA V a#even after getting the 980 and of course some other AAA's as well that aren't doing so hot for the platform. Indie game wise some are fine and run really well for me but I'm wanting a better AAA performance experience and I doubt splurging a lot mroe on my monitor is going to give me all that (especially with the higher res which currently kills fps that giving you gains).
