Hey I can only really find 4k monitors that are 27 inches, but I only want a 24 inch monitor but I am wanting to get a 1080 gpu for my PC... if i get a 1080p monitor with 75hz, will i be okay with the 1080gpu? or will 144hz 1080p monitor be better? or should i only get a 1440p monitor at least??

There is no simple short answer to that question, it really depends on your budget.
The question is "Is it worth it?" Purchasing a GPU and not being able to utilize its power would be a shame, you have to try and match your monitor with your GPU.
Here's a chart that I made to help you make your decision, but do you own research, look at some benchmarks and find out if you really need to run every game on max graphics settings.

Here are my recommendations, but I am no expert.

1080p@60hz
GeForce GTX 1060 - 6gb

1080p@@120/144hz
GeForce GTX 1070 - 8gb

1440p@60hz
GeForce GTX 1070 - 8gb // GeForce GTX 1080 - 8gb

1440p@120/144hz
GeForce GTX 1080 - 8gb

4k@60hz
GeForce GTX 1080 ti - 11gb
