Hi guys, I need some advice please.

So my upcoming PC build consists of 5900X + 6800 XT (and hoping to upgrade my GPU every 3 years). Using a 27" monitor I just can't seem to choose between gaming at 1440p or 4K - does it really make a big difference in terms of display? Would 1440p with high fresh rates still be the trend in the next few years (for a 27" monitor)? I've heard from some people that 27" monitor is too small for 4K. I use my monitor for both gaming (mostly) and some general web browsing/study.

P.S. I'm currently using LG UK850 (4K 60Hz) so another concern that I have is "downgrading" display quality to 1440p.
