New Monitor or New GPU?

[Kenpilot]

Hey guys. Deciding on getting a new monitor or new GPU. I mostly play racing and flight simulators like iracing, DCS World Flaming Cliffs 3 and some FPS like Call of Duty, etc. Here's my current setup:
Monitor: Acer H243H
GPU: GEFORCE GTX 1050Ti
Intel Core i5 750 (NOT overclocked)
RAM: 16GB
MOB: EVGA P55 SLI E657

Eventually I'd love to do triple screens but for now was thinking of just upgrading to a more up to date 27" monitor. Like most of us, I'm on a budget so I'd like to get the most for my money. Not looking to spend over $400. Was looking at possibly the ASUS AVG278HV or the BEnQ XL2720. Do you guys think it would be more beneficial to update my GPU and keep the older Acer monitor or keep my more modern GPU and update the monitor and go to 27" from my 24"? Thanks!!

Ok thanks. I'll stick with a true 1080 monitor. Is the Viewsonic monitor that you recommended much better than the BenQ-XL2720? I can pick up the BenQ today where as I have to wait until the end of this week for the Viewsonic, and I'm impatient.

I don't see freesync listed on the Ben-Q, but since you have a Nvidia card you wont be able to use freesync anyway. Other than that, they are the same and Ben-Q makes quality products.
