Which would you suggest as a better upgrade, monitor or card?

I currently have:

EVGA GTX 970 SC
BenQ 24" 1920x1200 TN panel monitor


I want to upgrade by getting:

GTX 980 Ti
or
27" Gsync Monitor with 144hz at 2560x1440 pixel resolution - Acer XB270HU or ASUS ROG PG278Q

And if the monitor is the way to go, do I wait for the new ASUS IPS? Or will that end up costing $1000+? I'm currently leaning toward either the ASUS or the Acer 27 inch 144hz Gsyncs.

And will I find that with the new monitor, that the GTX 970 won't have quite the horsepower to drive the higher resolution at high/ultra settings and still maintain 60+ frames per second? Vsync is very very very important to me and I will always take lower graphics settings rather than sacrifice anything under solid 60fps. This makes animation look fluid and gives it that real 3d-ish feel.

**** So which is it? The monitor (and which one), or the new card? ****

Hahah, that's too much money!

I need to pick one. The 980 TI

OR

The 27" WQHD GSync Monitor....

So which should I get between those two to get the biggest upgrade impact? I'm leaning toward the monitor....
