Confusion in monitor and GPU upgrade

[Infernoblaster]

Hello,
My build currently is,
Core i7 4790k 4 Ghz
RAM 16gb ddr3
Zotac gtx 780ti oc
Coolermaster 600watt PSU(thunder).
And a shitty 60hz very old Samsung monitor.
So,
Iam going to upgrade my monitor which is the cheap 144hz panel
Acer GN246HL Bbid and my GPU which is RTX 2070 founders edition from Nvidia.com.
So, my confusion is that the monitor comes with dvi dual link and fortunately RTX 2070 also has a dvi dual link support.(my friends tell that only display port has native 144hz support but in internet it says 144hz can be used in dvi dual link) IAM so confused please help me.
Also remainder, if I can't pick up a RTX 2070 FE then I will get a zotac gtx 1080 mini.
Counting on you guys cheers.

144 Hz 1080p will work on DVI-D, but is always recommended to use a display port connector.

Still am I good with the selection of GPU and monitor,IAM just gonna try to play with 144hz with 2070 on a dvi d cable.(since the monitor has no display port)
I will happy if I can play siege on 144hz without any issue

You can go with a 1070ti it's 10%(in some games it's even less than that) slower than the 1080, but if you overclock, it will match the 1080 in performance.

It's quite a bit cheaper than the 1080 too and will be enough for 1080p 144 Hz gaming.

Yes, you can get 144 Hz using DVI.

I recently upgraded from my 3930k and that was paired with a 1070... it served me really well.
The 4790k has better IPC, so it should perform really well paired with the 1070ti and even with the 2070.
