Hi all. The pc I built like 7 years ago (with the help of the good people of this forum) is still running well.

Fatal1ty Z170 Gaming-ITX/ac
Intel Skylake Core i7-6700K
Currently running with:
Noctua NH-L9i chromax.black NH-L9I CH.BK Air Cooler and a
GeForce GTX 1080 ARMOR 8G OC
I was running an AIO cpu cooler through an
AORUS GeForce® GTX 1080 Ti Waterforce WB Xtreme Edition 11G
(the gpu sprung a leak but has been repaired)

All this time I have been playing on a basic 21inc Samsung 1080p monitor and I think it is time to upgrade to something a bit more decent.
I found two well priced gamming monitors

For the most part I play online MpFPS and SQUAD is my game of choice and I dabble in almost every computer related.
What would you recommend to be the best monitor for me and my hardware?

What I probably should mention is that squad runs between 50 and 60 fps but sometimes drops lower with the gtx1080 so the 1440 should run wors. But what would the implications be if I ran it at 1080p with up scaling, or use things like fsr3. Is any of this an option with the gtx1080, or will the 1080ti run at least as well as what I have at the moment
