I am planning on buying a 6950xt and I want a 1440p 240hz monitor to accompany it i was thinking about these: https://www.rtings.com/monitor/tools/compare/gigabyte-m27q-x-vs-dell-alienware-aw2723df/31657/34684?usage=3623&threshold=0.10 I also want a case with fans included on the front and back, ideally minimal or no rgb update: going for a 7800xt instead. what do you think of the o11 air mini?
A 6950xt is a sizeable card. You will need a fairly long case for it, hope case size is not a limiting factor in your decision.
I personally recommend the Corsair 4000D. I have one for my current Zen4/7900xtx build (the rgb airflow variant) and it was an absolute breeze to build inside, gobs of space everywhere… RGB is optional because it’s only on the fans and the non-RGB variant simply uses different fans. And all things considered it’s not even terribly expensive - for the ~$100 the base 4000D costs, you get extremely high build quality.
Do you use the monitor primarily at night, or day? Do you plan on watching movies at night? Do you already use an ips monitor currently? When I was buying my first monitor (after using gaming laptops for a long time), and I noticed that the IPS monitors are all too bright, and have very bad blacks/contrast ratio for movies/dark content at night. I tried out a variety of monitors, and ended up with an LG VA monitor and have been happy with that. I use my pc mostly at night, and this monitor is pretty good for that. If you want the best, you could go for oled monitors, but they’re considerable more expensive.

I use a laptop which is probably IPS or tn. I watch movies on a TV, and I use my computer in a bright room, whether or not it’s night
I used an IPS laptop too. However, laptops go a lot lower on minimum brightness compared to monitors for whatever reason. Shouldn’t matter to you since you always use it in a bright room. IPS should be good to you.
I don’t have a monitor recommendation, but I have a Fractal Torrent case for my 7900xtx, and it’s absolutely amazing with airflow, one of the best you can buy.
I am really happy with it and would buy another one if I had to build it again. I really like how the PSU is in the top, the I side of the case looks really cool as a result.
You can buy no RGB edition, and there are a TON of ways you can configure the fans or radiators. Check the user manual for options to see if it works for your use case.
Yep
