30"+ monitor, which features do I need?

[Mark8147]

I'm looking at getting a new 30"+ primary monitor but wanted some advice on which features I actually need. It will primarily be used for gaming, although I understand Overwatch and WoW aren't that demanding. I'd also like to make sure I'm not paying for features my gtx970 would struggle with.

My main questions are, which resolutions should I be looking at? With the increased size I'd obviously like the graphics quality to be a noticeable improvement over my current 1080p.

Would gsync, freesync or 144htz be a waste with my current setup and games I'm playing?

Obviously I'd like the monitor to be as future proof as possible, I will eventually be upgrading my gpu and playing newer games, but never completely high end or ultra competitively.

Any advice would be really appreciated

1440p gysnc would make the most sense. Freesync is AMD gpu only. That big of a monitor, 1440p also makes sense. WoW will still be quite playable, as will other games, just with lowered details. A GTX 1070 or 1080 would be a sizeable improvement.
