Need help upgrading my dinky Monitor

[kamranhasak47]

Currently I have a HP Pavillion 22bw, a 1080p 21.5' monitor. Though it served me well over a year, I'm looking to upgrade to 1440p, preferably IPS at a size of 27'. I'll mostly do college work, lots of video editing, and constant animating in Adobe Flash, and the extra screen real-estate would work wonders for me; in addition, the higher resolution will tickle my jimmies in excitement. I also game a lot on my rig, and I'm positive the bigger, better monitor would enhance my experience 10 fold. In terms of VRAM, I have 4gb so I'm good. My budget is non-existent (if a particular monitor is worth it, I will save up the money to purchase it) so any monitors are open for suggestion. I know that there are a bunch of new monitors that are going to be released in the next couple of months, but I'm not the monitor king and don't know much about them or follow the news on the latest and greatest ones. I'm looking for a monitor that will satisfy me for years to come, and the extra kinks on some monitors (such as g-sync 120 fps) is also open to me. Thanks for reading and the replies!

Just the amount of video RAM you have means almost nothing in how well the computer will play games.

What is the exact system specs, CPU, video card, RAM?

I think Im set with a fx 8350, 8 gb RAM, and currently gtx 760s in sli (upgrading to a single 980 with 4gb). Any suggested monitors?

You did not list a budget but my favorite overall model range are the Dell UltraSharp series. They always are ranked in the top of comparisons. They are a bit pricy though compared to some but the image quality and stands are excellent.
