240Hz 1080p or 165Hz 1440p

[Phylush]

Hello, this is my pc. https://pcpartpicker.com/list/9XTZd6 I intend to either get the Asus PG258Q or the Asus PG278QR. Both are around $600. The only game I play is Rocket League, and I don't know which monitor to purchase. (I currently play on a 23 inch @720p and 60Hz.) Any feedback is much appreciated, as this is my first build

1440P 165Hz, hands down. Your GPU can handle this game like it was from the 90's, dude. It could probably run it like butter at 4k, in all honesty. It's very overkill for that game.. and that's just fine.

go with 1440p 165Hz, your GTX 1080 should handle it. 4K needs a GTX 1080ti and above to get stable 60 fps at high settings.

the Corsair Dominator series memory is not good value for money. i swapped it out for G.skill TridentZ 3200 MHz, same performance at a cheaper price + LEDs(if you like them). this also allowed me to get the 500GB version of the 960 SSD, you'll thank me later for the extra storage. a slight downgrade in PSU, but dont fret, the RMx series PSUs are of very good quality.
