Title pretty much says it all. I have no idea which monitor I should get after upgrading to a 1070ti. I have it extremely overclocked, reaching 19000+ on firestrike, so I feel that 1440p 144hz isnt out of the question here.
 
Solution
1440p 144Hz is the answer. It is not out of the question. If anything, the 1070Ti was meant for very high 1440p and some 4k. If you want, go for a 4k monitor, but it won't be as good as a 1080 there.

1440p, 165Hz.

1080p, 240Hz. Real test for the 1070Ti if it gives 240Hz always.

So what is the difference in quality between the ASUS PG278QR 27", Dell Gaming S2716DG 27.0", and the Acer Predator you suggested? All are 1440p 144hz 1ms respons g sync, so which one looks the best, has the best life expectancy, etc.
 


All are good and you cannot go wrong with either. Monitors usually work for as long as you want too, until you just do not like the resolution and decide to upgrade. Looks are up to you, but I would go for the Dell due to not too much of a fancy look.
