A TV is never a good choice for gaming. full stop.
okay so i guess a tv is not a good idea so what should i look for when choosing a monitor?
Im not that much of a gamer currently because i don't have a dedicated gaming system but whenever i go to my friends house and pick up that controller i don't want to put it back down lol.
LOL. So i can assume that you have never used a mouse and keyboard for gaming then? But you still can use a controller non the less. To find a good monitor is the same as trying to find the other parts of your system. Brand, specs and price. The best brands are Asus, Benq, LG and samsung. Next is specs, I will suggest 144Hz, 1-5ms GTG TN or IPS panel and to get a good one it's gonna be pretty close to the cost of your GPU but i think you can find cheaper.

Ive actually spent hours at a time playing need for speed, call of duty and resident evil on pc so I'm used to keyboard and mouse lol
Oh how am i gonna get past customs with all that stuff lol, ill probably just use my current monitor and wait for a black Friday sale to buy a new one. Thanks for the advice though.

Do you think its a good idea to just assemble everything and take it with me on the plane? Im afraid of it getting damaged

Tv is ok for gaming and watching videos.
For reading etc... it is not good.
Lots of people buy 4k tvs instead of monitors these days and have no problem.
I cant tell the difference between the milliseconds a good ssd vs a very good with loading times.
