If you're a gamer, then you're probably aware that getting a super-high refresh rate usually means shelling out big bucks, especially for a reputable brand like ASUS ROG. But right now, you can get a Strix model with some seriously speedy specs at a much more budget-friendly price.

As of Oct. 24, you can get the ASUS ROG Strix 24.5-inch gaming monitor (XG259CMS) on sale for $179, down from $299, at Amazon. That's a 40% discount or a $120 price cut. It's also the lowest price we've seen on this model to date.

This monitor has a 24.5-inch Full HD (1080p) Fast IPS panel with a 310Hz refresh rate and a 1ms response time (GTG). Translation: motion should look incredibly smooth, and input lag minimal, which is exactly what you want for competitive shooters or racing games. It's also G-SYNC Compatible and features ASUS's ELMB Sync tech to further reduce motion blur and tearing.

It supports HDR400 for better contrast and brightness, covers 110 percent of the sRGB color space, and has a handy USB-C port that supports DisplayPort Alt Mode for a cleaner connection to laptops or other devices. The stand is fully adjustable (height, tilt, swivel, and pivot), and it even has a tripod socket if you want to mount a webcam directly to it.

For under $180, getting this level of speed and features from the ROG Strix lineup is a pretty great find.
