I am currently running on 1600 x 900 monitor

my specs :

i5 4670k
Asus Maximus VI Formula
Gtx 780


I know these specs are really high for that resolution :p .

What is better 1440p or 1080p with 3D ?

120 Hz or 60 Hz ??

Thx :)
 
Solution
If you are into FPS games, then I suggest a 1080p 120/144Hz monitor. If you are into MMO/RPG's, then 2560x1440 would be optimal, as the more screen you can see the better.

see that i will not mind to do SLI so bigger the screen better experience ?
 
Bigger the screen isn't always better. A bigger screen at 1080p will begin to lose image quality, as opposed to a smaller 23 or 24 inch screen. Future SLI does not change the fact that higher resolution monitors currently do not support a Refresh rate higher than 60Hz. My friend recently got another 680 for SLI, and he also got a 144Hz 24 inch 1080p monitor. I would take a high refresh rate over a larger pixel count any day. This is the monitor that I would recommend:

The colors are pretty bad at stock, but that can be fixed with a simple color profile download.
