144Hz is the screen refresh rate. This is a lot more noticiable in old CRT than in LCD screens but as rule of the tumb the higher the better (with a 1060 could get decent framerates but at max you would get 60-90 fps i suppose, 144Hz is a bit of waste), it's more noticiable on fast moving games that need very fast actions like shooters.

1440p is the resolution (2K for 2560 × 1440 or 3440x1440 in a ultrawide screen), in this case the vertical resolution. The higher the more clear the image will be (and the smaller you will see them), its the maximun resolution (2560 × 1440) i would recomend for your GPU (the higher the most resources you need from your GPU) and only in 27'+

The last is the size, for that price range i would go for a 27' but you will have three options there.
- 27' Faster screen (TN) with "worse" color quality
- 27' Slower screen (IPS) with "better" color quality
- A screen with cuts in some areas (size, refresh rate, etc..) that trade them for specific technology like GSync, ultrawide format 21:9 instead 16:9, etc..

It's just a personal choice here.

MERGED QUESTION
Question from grrsona : "Best 144HZ Gaming monitors?"











A high quality monitor should last you for years to come.

With a Gsync equipped monitor and this GPU though, you may not find the urgent need to upgrade......adaptive sync monitors with mid-level GPUs are a great pairing.

I disagree here.

The cost of the added hardware for GSync in a monitor makes that they are not in the 200-300 range that the open poster said (probably the cost of add Gsync would be closer to the 200 mark).

Even if you choose the cheapest one (close to 376$) will make that the tradeoff to get the Gsync are not worth it.

If we would talk about 500$ for a monitor, well that's a diferent story but 300 is too low for GSync
