Time to pick your brains,

Current system specs:
i5 4670 (no K)
GTX 970
8GB Ram

I'm going to be getting myself another 970 and I've seen the benchmarks and it's pretty powerful, but I wanted to know is it worth staying at 1080p and getting a 144Hz monitor or getting a 165Hz 1440P monitor and just lower the settings a little bit. I'd drop my AA to 2 and some of the texture settings to high instead of ultra. What would it look like compared to 1080P? Is it really worth the upgrade?

Thanks for anyone that helps!

I'm going for a 27" screen I think. I'm on a 24" at the minute and it's just a little bit to small and I was considering getting a second monitor but I don't have enough desk space so I'm going to just upgrade to a 27" instead.

Yes well I was thinking about getting Pascal but my card is only a year old and the performance of an SLI setup looks really promising so hopefully the price of the 970 drops when pascal hits the stores. And yh the monitor looks really good, and for the price (£599) you get a really good spec! Plus I can't have a TN panel :eek: They look awful compared to IPS and then pair that with the decent response, high tick rate, trusted manufacturer and G-Sync it it really competitive for people with high-end systems!
