so, 1440p monitors are around $500, and so are 1080p 144hz. I don't have experience with anything above 108p 60hz and I am wondering some opinions on which would improve the experience more. I have a single GTX 780 ti. Which would you get if you were in my position?

If I were in your position, 1440P would be on my wishlist. A 780 Ti can handle it, and 1080p 144Hz monitors generally have pretty meh TN panels.

108p? Sounds dreadful.

I've seen 1440p and can't really see the difference to be honest. I would go to a store to see if you think 1440p is worth it.

EDIT: guy with sexy avatar above has a much better answer now that I think if it.

It depends. If you play very competitively then I would go 144hz. If not a 1440p display would be nice!

Really it would depend on the games you play and what you do on your computer. If you play a lot of fps or moba games a 144hz monitor would be good for reaction time; while a 1440p screen would be better for trying to get some extra immersion(better colors and nicer detail) out of a game or just using your pc for more basic stuff like web surfing and reading(crisper text, but smaller)

 

I personally use a 1440p monitor and enjoy it thoroughly.

1440p is worth it for the screen size (screens can be lager, 27" or maybe a lil more, without looking to stretched) and work space for non gaming. I'd recommend 4k though if you have the money and work space is a big concern so you can just game at 1080p if you want, since 4k is 4x 1080p, and scales perfectly (looks native at 1080p)

muh specs 

Gaming and HTPC (reparations)- ASUS 1080, MSI X99A SLI Plus, 5820k- 4.5GHz @ 1.25v, asetek based 360mm AIO, RM 1000x, 16GB memory, 750D with front USB 2.0 replaced with 3.0  ports, 2 250GB 850 EVOs in Raid 0 (why not, only has games on it), some hard drives

Screens- Acer preditor XB241H (1080p, 144Hz Gsync), LG 1080p ultrawide, (all mounted) directly wired to TV in other room

Stuff- k70 with reds, steel series rival, g13, full desk covering mouse mat

All parts black

Workstation(desk)- 3770k, 970 reference, 16GB of some crucial memory, a motherboard of some kind I don't remember, Micomsoft SC-512N1-L/DVI, CM Storm Trooper (It's got a handle, can you handle that?), 240mm Asetek based AIO, Crucial M550 256GB (upgrade soon), some hard drives, disc drives, and hot swap bays

Screens- 3  ASUS VN248H-P IPS 1080p screens mounted on a stand, some old tv on the wall above it. 

Stuff- Epicgear defiant (solderless swappable switches), g600, moutned mic and other stuff. 

Laptop docking area- 2 1440p korean monitors mounted, one AHVA matte, one samsung PLS gloss (very annoying, yes). Trashy Razer blackwidow chroma...I mean like the J key doesn't click anymore. I got a model M i use on it to, but its time for a new keyboard. Some edgy Utechsmart mouse similar to g600. Hooked to laptop dock for both of my dell precision laptops. (not only docking area)

Shelf- i7-2600 non-k (has vt-d), 380t, some ASUS sandy itx board, intel quad nic. Currently hosts shared files, setting up as pfsense box in VM. Also acts as spare gaming PC with a 580 or whatever someone brings. Hooked into laptop dock area via usb switch

Yeah but the main thing I want it for is gaming and there really isn't any point in spending $800 on a monitor for the same quality, resolution, refresh rate and all of that in games...

1440p because of their naturally higher quality panels.

The ROG Swift is also G-sync which is nice, but it also costs $800 so....

 Thought it was coming to market in North America for $649?

There's absolutely no point in spending over $250 for a tn panel imo. If you're playing cs at a "VERY" high level, buy it. Personally, I don't think it's worth it if you're into bf4/cod.

 

I still have my 2233rz from my cs days. It's been collecting dust for 4 years now.

I guess it comes down to what you consider worth it.

If you are willing to take the risk, get a korean monitor. I have the Qnix 2710 and my monitor overclocks to 120hz but all monitors are assured to run at 96hz. I run mine at 96hz all the time. 

I don't recommend buying this unless you truly have to have the best of both worlds. 

 

As for 1440 vs 120hz, 1440p no questions asked.

Nope not willing to risk it I have the worst luck with regards to failure rates on my stuff.
