I have never used a 1440p monitor before and will be getting on with my next build-

While I originally intended to get the cheap Visiontek r9 270x 2GB (the the fan wine) just to monitor myminecraft server, I want to start looking into PC gaming a bit more...

...plus I don't know if the 2GB would be enough...

Would the 4GB R9 270x be enough for decent 1440p gaming? or should I get the 280x or gtx 770 for $100 more? (ouch)

also, if you have a better suggestion, (like two lower cards that are more powerful for a decent price) I'd like to here it!

thank you-
