Did you have some monitors in mind? Hard to find much in that price range, I'll have a look on Newegg and see what they've got.
I found a 27" 1440p 144Hz monitor for $450 https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=9SIA1N85U63426&cm_re=monitor_1440p_144-_-24-160-297-_-Product
And for $500 https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=9SIA0ZW5F71608&cm_re=monitor_1440p_144-_-9SIA0ZW5F71608-_-Product
Or this one https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16824011057&cm_re=monitor_1440p_144-_-24-011-057-_-Product
Not sure what you think of these, personally I would go for the last monitor.

Size does matter 
I look at resolution vs size the other way around. That is, if you want a larger monitor, then you need higher resolution. Around 24" is where I would draw a line. I'm sure a 24" 1440p monitor looks better than a 1080p, but it's not as noticeable as say a 32" monitor. If you were to get a monitor under 24", I'd say to save your money and get a 144Hz 1080p.
I guess another issue would be how close you are to your monitor, if you're only a foot away, then you might want 1440p on a monitor under 24", but if you're 3 feet away, you wouldn't see any difference.

Your not getting it cheap, those displays are really nice but kinda hefty pricetag.
I'm using a ASUS ROG PG278Q which is $650~750 USD but is absolutely amazing. 27" 1440p 144hz monitor with G-Sync.
