Suggestions for a new monitor for gaming and editing?

[Juizi]

I'm looking for a new monitor to get later this year. Right now I have 27 inch 1080p 60hz monitor which just isn't doing it for me. My system has I5 7600k with GTX 1060 6gb overclocked and it runs all the games that I play at over 100 fps at ultra settings. My budget for the new monitor would be max 500 euros. I want atleast 27 inch monitor with high refresh rate. How dumb idea would it be if I got myself a 34 inch 1080p 144hz ultrawide or should I go for 27 inch 1440p 144hz screen instead even though my pc would not be able to run games at 1440p with over 144fps. I could go for 27 inch 1080p 144hz aswell but I'm not sure which option would be the best.

personally, I would get the 1440p @144hz because in games you can always downscale the resolution to 1920x1080. Higher res is always optimal for editing, and in my honest opinion, I would not get a 1080p monitor above 24 inches as the image begins to get fuzzy. You can always upgrade your GPU down the line too.

I'm currently running a GTX1080 with a 1440p 165hz monitor and it can push frames pretty well
