Read that and decide for yourself.

Here's an example of my own, personal criteria, for good monitor to my build (1080p).

Size: 24", 27" or 32" (1080p does well on 24" and 27", 1440p does well with 27" and 32")
Ultrawide: No
Refresh rate: 144 Hz (or up)
Response time: 1ms
contrast ratio: min 3000:1
TN, IPS or VA panel: VA
Color Gamut: never considered that
Curvature: 1500R or less
VESA mount: Yes. Preferably 100mm and 120mm all in one
Input port: Display Port
HDR: I don't mind it
Internal speakers: Don't need them
How many USB ports: Don't use monitor USB ports, so, i don't care
Headphone out: Don't use that either
G-Sync: Neat thing if you have Nvidia GPU but increases monitor price considerably
Price: If it's good, i'm willing to pay premium price
Brand: MSI, Asus

Note: These above are my personal preferences and may not align or even match yours. Take them as a guideline to look for a monitor.

Your build can handle 4K gaming. So, selection is wide for you. Usually, it comes down to budget, monitor size and reso.

On average, you'll get ~123 FPS on 1440p (2K), more on 1080p;

Also, your FPS will be limited what GPU can provide, since CPU can push ~160 FPS on 1440p (~170 FPS on 1080p),

Using your build for 1080p gaming is waste actually, since you can easily get 120+ FPS on 1440p (2K), while with in-game tweaks, you can get ~60 FPS on 4K. Like i said, your build can handle 4K.

Well, you do not "have to", but it would be better considering your build specs. You can easily just get 1080p monitor if you like.

For example and regarding 27" monitor, depending on how close you sit and how good of an eyesight you have, you could see individual pixels on 27" 1080p monitor, while image looks smooth on 27" 1440p monitor (better pixel density).
