Why not go for an IPS monitor for such a high end build?

If you already own the monitor keep it.
But if you are going for a high end build i highly reccommend going for an IPS panel like i linked. It makes a huge difference when switching over from a TN panel to an IPS panel in my experience anyway.
And yes, the one i chose is one model above the one you chose
Its basically the same monitor but the IPS version.
