Monitor Upgrade for ~£400

[condxlences]

Looking to upgrade from my £120 ASUS monitor to something with a better display.
My current pc build is:

Geforce GTX 970
Intel Core i5-4690K @ 3.50GHz
8 GB RAM
ASUS 1920 x 1080, 60Hz

Just wondering what to go for, e.g. do i need 144Hz, what resolution etc.

Budget of around £400

Any help would be appriciated

Thanks!

If you need 144hz or not is your call. I looked at several options, but found nothing that was shipping that I felt like paying for. The other factor is with a 144hz monitor you are probably going to be happier with g-sync which adds around 200 to the cost of most monitors. Also at 144hz and 1440p, you're going to need a new video card.

I would think a 60hz 2560x1440p display that is 27-32 range would be a good upgrade. I went this way as well but because those monitors had the best text clarity.

Have you read through reviews on sites like pcmonitors, tftcentral, etc?

decent response times for the price, plus 1440p
