27" 1440p/144hz GSync monitor - I currently use this and it's the cheapest you will find a Gsync monitor with those specs. Had one weird issue with not waking from sleep when I bought it, but haven't seen that happen in months.

Also, yes you can drop the resolution to 1080p and still use the 144hz Gsync technology

i think for single player, fps does not matter as much as eye experience, i think getting a gsync monitor will be better if you have the budget for it.

as for online fps game, you always want to have the high and stable fps (close to 144) at the cost of image quality.

i think the good buy will be a 1080p 144hz monitor, if you have the budget, get one with 1080p 144ghz with G sync feature.
