Currently have 30 inch 2560x1600 60hz: should i get 28 inch 144hz or 32 inch 4k (both would have gsync): only play Warcraft

Hi guys -

I currently have a 30 inch Dell U3014, 60hz, at 2560x1600

I have had this for about 3 years and wanted to treat myself to a new monitor. I was considering two options:

1) 27-28 inch 1440p 144hz monitor with gsync, 1ms response time
2) 32 inch 4k 60 hz monitor with gsync, 4 ms response time

I have a GTX 980 TI and sit about 1.5 feet from the monitor

I ONLY PLAY WARCRAFT FOR 90-100% OF MY GAMING

I'm not someone who players shooters, CS:GO, etc. and can consistently get 60fps now

I have checked specs and done my research and expect, with my 980ti in WoW, I could also get consistent 60fps at 4k

With this said, which do you think is better? Is there still enough of an improvement going to 144hz that the 60->144hz is a better improvement than going to 4k?

I have been skeptical that I could tell such a big difference between 60->144 frames that this would be more worth the money than doubling my resolution, but I would love to be convinced

Thanks. Again, remember the only use case is Warcraft

I took into account the advice of those who wrote in this and another thread, on top of messages I received, and I have decided to go with this:

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01A3N60A2/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

I don't really want ultrawide because it doesn't work in Starcraft or HOTS, and some other games I occasionally play, and I'm just not sure if I would adjust well having never played on one

Also, I just really want to see what the game looks like in 4k and a guy in forums told me Wow at hz higher than 60 doesn't make much of a difference.

Let me know if that's not true, otherwise will put in the order in a little bit

I wouldn't buy either one. You could go on a great vacation for that kind of money!
However, if you're going to buy one get the 4k @ 60Hz. Going from 1440@60Hz to 1440@144Hz is not worth it, you will benefit in any way from it.
