Asus TUF VG27AQ Vs Viewsonic XG2405. How much of a difference would it make in gaming between these 2 monitors?

So I'm wondering if it would be a wise decision to purchase the https://www.asus.com/Monitors/TUF-Gaming-VG27AQ/  over the  https://www.viewsonic.com/ap/products/lcd/XG2405.php considering the Asus costs almost double. Now, I'll be mostly playing single player games like RDR 2, Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order, R6S (the only multiplayer I play) etc. Also, I saw on reddit that dead pixel issues are pretty common among Asus monitors. The LG 27GL850 is the only other option but that's another $100 ?

 

Rest of the components:

P.S. I've watched several youtube videos on 1080p vs 1440p gaming but I couldn't notice much of a difference...most probably because I watched those on my 1080p 60hz monitor ?‍♂️

I had a triple Asus monitor setup for years and they were all great.

 

With those specs, if you purchase a 24" 1080p monitor you're absolutely insane. With a $1400 GPU, you in no way shape or form be considering a $240 Monitor.

 

The difference between 1080p and 1440p in very, very large. I would strongly recommend a 1440p 144hz 27" minimum. But I think at your specs you should strongly consider upping your budget and getting into the ultrawide game.

 

You can spend as much as you want on a PC, but if you skip on peripherals then it's worthless.

I don't really like ultra wide and I need an IPS display since I'll be doing extensive video editing with this rig as well
