Best TN monitor?!

He's asking for TN (the cheapest kind) so I assume he's only looking at low end monitors. Best Buy will have a $200 50" 1080p Panasonic on Black Friday.
For reference, the general rule for display panels is IPS > MVA >> TN. It used to be that IPS was slow and not good for gaming, but it seems like that's no longer the case. MVA is considered to be a good compromise with overall image quality approaching that of IPS but at a much lower price.

Why only TN panels?
IPS:

More expensive but First Class:

I forgot to mention, Gabby, that IPS will have more accurate colors for your photo editing work. It might be worth going IPS. 5ms response time really isn't bad.
You should also mention what resolution you want. You're getting a 970 so you can game comfortably at either 1080P or 1440P. It's up to you.
At 1440P images will be crisper and sharper at the cost of a few frames per second.

It's also for photoshop work. But the ability to have a leg up on noobs in order to better pwn them is high priority hence the OPs predilection for TN.

You'll never have any issues with gaming on a good IPS.
My triple U2414H monitors are IPS panels and they perform flawlessly for gaming.
Having owned both TN and IPS monitors, go IPS for your usage mixture.

Well for what the OP is needing, just get 2 screens then. A nice super fast TN and nice color accurate IPS for productivity. Both can be had for cheap, especially during the holiday season.
My vote would be for this TN: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16824236313
For the IPS, ATM vouches for the Dell IPS screens. If you want to step up to 1440p, then you can get a nice QNIX for $279 on Ebay.

That 144Hz asus is the same monitor I suggested to the OP earlier in a private convo. It's a good choice for gaming methinks. If you really want that photoshop color accuracy it's worth shelling out for a second, IPS panel. 144Hz 1ms is nice and fast though. No doubt you'll be pwning noobs all over the place.
