These are the two monitors what i have narrowed it down to and i am stuck. These are my current specs and im curious as to how its going to do with a 4k monitor and is it worth it?

Well, if you're planning to go up to 3+ 980s later and join 4k gaming, then get the 4k monitor. But if you're planning to only get up to 2x 980, then I'll stick with 1440p ultra.

Would i notice a decent improvement of image quality and pixel quality going from a VN247H to a 2560x1440p monitor

I've only seen 1440p through a 4k monitor, but the improvements wasn't like a "huge" difference to me, maybe just slightly noticeable. It IS huge when it is from 1080p to 4k since it is 4 times better in image quality. But you'll have to spend a lot to get 4k working smoothly for games, right now 1440p is just if you want to enhance your image quality by a bit while still having a great gaming experience of beyond 60Hz. So if you don't feel like spending a lot and want to have a pretty good gaming experience, I'd stick with 1440p and get a 2nd 980 later for ultra settings with no problems.
