Help me choose a monitor.

[Arcturus314]

Hi all,
I'm looking to buy a new monitor, to replace the one that came in an old AiO. I would like to either get a 120 Hz 1440p monitor or a low end 4k monitor. It would mostly be used for gaming and general use (web browsing word processing etc.). My budget is $400-600.

My current system is based off of an i7 4770K and a pair of R9 280Xs. I know I won't be able to max every game out at 4k with this system.

So far I have found a 4K monitor that looks interesting, the Asus PB287Q. Any ideas on this monitor or suggestions for others?

Thanks,
Arcturus314

I wouldn't get a 4K monitor as your GPUs will kinda struggle to display stuff on it. Instead, i'd get the 1440p monitor for 450$:

For 10$ more, you can get this monitor with exceptionally high brightness:

Both of those seem like good choices. Thanks.
