Right now I'm doing all my gaming on what's basically a "work" monitor. It's a 27" 1080 monitor with 60Hz refresh speed. My PC has an i5 6600k CPU and a GTX 1070 Gaming X GPU. I'm thinking of upgrading my monitor to get something with a higher refresh rate and possibly a better resolution but I'm not looking to spend more than $400. I have my eye on this LG Monitor at Amazon that seems to have all the features I want. But I was wondering if going to a higher resolution with my hardware is worth it. I'm not really looking to upgrade my rig for a few more years so I wonder if I would be better off getting something with a 1080 resolution for a lot less money? I don't know much about displays so I don't know if my GTX 1070 would really do well at 1440. I know it's "sweet spot" is 1080 but it can go up to 4K. If anyone has any suggestions or advice I'd really appreciate it. Right now my biggest desire is getting a higher FPS and the best visual quality at the optimal resolution.
