Recommendations For A Cheap 27" Gaming Monitor with 1440p & 144Hz - About £350 Budget :)

[Cream_Bean]

Evening guys.
Completed my first ever computer build last week and currently using a cheap 1080p 60Hz 27" Prolite monitor. It's been ok for the first few days, no complaints about it at all...but my system consists of a i7-5790k and a GTX 980 HOF.
Playing just TF2 I'm pushing huge FPS numbers!
I'm looking at playing at GTA5, BF2 etc... in Ultra or very near that and expecting 60+ FPS, I think!? and wouldn't want to waste my lovely hardware on a poor performing screen where FPS would be wasted.

I've done quite slot of research and narrowed down my criteria a bit I'm still bamboozled on the variety on monitors.

I really don't like the idea of 1080p as I feel it looks a bit stretched on my current 27" and I would like to be able to make use of any games I play where I push 60+ FPS, hence wanting 144Hz. And I've heard there buttery smooth as I do heavy browsing for work and have 20+ pages open simultaneously and would like some of that buttery action happening

Any recommendations or ideas would be super helpful as this is another venture into a PC building area that I have no real knowledge on.

Thanks,
Ben

I just bought the BenQ XL2730Z, and love it. It does 1440p resolution at 144Hz refresh when using the included DisplayPort cable. It's a little more expensive than what you're looking for, but you'd be hard pressed to find a monitor that meets your budget and your requirements. Here's a link to it on Amazon:

In your budget but 1080p (144Hz and G-Sync with good color presets and contrast): https://skinflint.co.uk/philips-g-line-272g5dyeb-a1140441.html

More expensive but best gaming monitor available (1440p 144Hz AHVA with G-Sync): https://skinflint.co.uk/acer-predator-xb270hubprz-um-hb0ee-009-a1216766.html
