Thoughts on buying a monitor

Hello there ma dudes and dudetts 

So in some random thinking, since my computer is a based around a budget, and im updating a little bit there and there. I was thinking of how the difference in resolution made. 
I have a 4k tv, that i play on some times, but im a fps person at heart and really love them high hz monitor.
Im currently sitting on a 1080 144hz TN panel which does the job really well when i play competitive games. 

 

But for the eye candy games i want slightly more that a tn 1080, so with the 1070 graphics card i have, will most likely not be able to play perfectly at 1440 with those fps  

however since i will most likely upgrade gpu at some point wouldn't it be more beneficial to get that extra money on the monitor and lock the hz to a lower hz for a high refresh rate monitor or should i just settle for an ips 60-120hz 1440p. 

Because when i do upgrade one of my monitors it will be a IPS panel and most likely 1440p. or should i spend the extra bucks to get a IPS gsync high refresh rate monitor at 1440p? 

 

 

TLDR, will it work well with locking hz to 60 on a 144-165hz monitor with higher resolution.

I have this monitor, it’s not cheap but it’s really nice.

So you are asking whether you should spend more for Gsync on a 1440p IPS high refresh monitor? I think you should since you do play competitive games. Price is an issue, but it is a must have for high end systems.
