How about both? I have this monitor and it's fast at 2ms with excellent color response. This RX 480 from MSI is super quite and is more than you'll ever need for 1080p.

Link to Monitor for those looking for details.

I'm not sure what your end game is, but generally a GTX 780 Ti is a good GPU. If you want more GPU power than the GTX 1070 would fit within your budget. If you want a more "colorful" experience you would probably need to buy an IPS panel to get more vibrant colors. IPS panels are usually the best for gaming, if you want a competitive panel. But they are easier to see and are usually brighter than an LCD panel. So it is up to you on what you want to do with your $.

According to Anandtech's GPU comparison w/RX 480 4 gb vs. GTX 780 Ti. The RX 480 4 gb is lagging a bit in performance behind the 780 Ti, so it wouldn't be an upgrade of sorts. Yes it probably would run a bit cooler (depending on the case that the OP has), but I think the GTX 1070 would be the smart upgrade (unless there are parts of the OP's system that might need an upgrade first), IMHO.

Glad we could help I think your 780 Ti is a nice GPU, but if you feel you need to upgrade, going with the GTX 1070 isn't going to disappoint you
