My Asus VE248H 24.0" Monitor (1080p) appears to be in the early stages of failing. My plan before it started to fail was to hold off on upgrading until I upgraded my graphics card (Gigabyte GeForce GTX 670 2GB). I've been holding off on that due to the inflated prices and waiting for the next-gen cards to drop. Long story short, I need a new monitor that will prepare me for the future (and will hopefully work OK with my 670 for a little while longer).
LOOKING TO BUY:
Monitor - 1440p minimum preferred, unless you can sell me on 4K; can my 670 run OK with this OR should I also buy a cheap 3GB 1060 or equivalent whiel I wait for the next gen cards)
APPROXIMATE PURCHASE DATE:
Within the next week or two
BUDGET RANGE:
I would prefer to stay less than $500, but I may be willing to go higher if the cost can be justified.
USAGE FROM MOST TO LEAST IMPORTANT:
Gaming; other tasks are minimal

Gigabyte GeForce GTX 670 2GB
