So, I'm building a brand new high end PC and I'm stuck on my monitor options
I've boiled it down to these 2:

https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16824236465&ignorebbr=1
The second monitor is on sale at the moment, so the price is comparable
My current build is as follows:
CPU: R7 1700x
MOBO: ASUS strix x370
GPU: some 1080, haven't picked yet
RAM: 2x8gb Gskill 3200 RGB
So, basically i can't decide whether i want to push the higher frames on 1080p or not. I'm well aware that r7 can't always push over that juicy 144fps mark, but still nicely over 100 most of the time. But then I look at that deal on the 1440p monitor, and i remember hearing that resolution is more GPU bound than actual framerate. So what should i do here? The price difference here (being around $60) is no object, as both are within my price range and the asking price of the 144hz version seems reasonable with all of its review backing.
So, with my build, 144hz or 2k res, neither with G-sync? (I play a lot of FPS games, but i like my open world/RPGs here and there)
