your gpu can game at 1440p 60fps on medium-high settings. but i think that the 240z full hd will be better

QUOTE ME  FOR ANSWER.

Tier lists for building a PC.

 

Motherboard tier list. Tier A for overclocking 5950x. Tier B for overclocking 5900x, Tier C for overclocking 5800X. Tier D for overclocking 5600X. Tier F for 4/6 core Cpus at stock. Tier E avoid.

(Also case airflow matter or if you are using Downcraft air cooler)

Spoiler

 

Gpu tier list. Rtx 3000 and RX 6000 not included since not so many reviews. Tier S for Water cooling. Tier A and B for overcloking. Tier C stock and Tier D avoid.

( You can overclock Tier C just fine, but it can get very loud, that is why it is not recommended for overclocking, same with tier D)

Spoiler

 

Psu tier List. Tier A for Rtx 3000, Vega and RX 6000. Tier B For anything else. Tier C cheap/IGPU. Tier D and E avoid.

(RTX 3000/ RX 6000 Might run just fine with higher wattage tier B unit, Rtx 3070 runs fine with tier B units)

Spoiler

 

Cpu cooler tier list. Tier 1&2 for power hungry Cpus with Overclock. Tier 3&4 for overclocking Ryzen 3,5,7 or lower power Intel Cpus. Tier 5 for overclocking low end Cpus or 4/6 core Ryzen. Tier 6&7 for stock. Tier 8&9 Ryzen stock cooler performance. Do not waste your money!

Spoiler

 

Storage tier List. Tier A for Moving files/  OS. Tier B for OS/Games. Tier C for games. Tier D budget Pcs. Tier E if on sale not the worst but not good.

(With a grain of salt, I use tier C for OS myself)

Spoiler

 

Case Tier List. Work In Progress. Most Phanteks airflow series cases already done!

Ask me anything :)

would recommend 1440p 144. better experience, and not many people really need 240hz

stuff is cool. stuff that has fancy lighting is cooler. stuff that has fancy lighting and works is the coolest.

 

i game so i know a bit abt gaming tech, not much abt professional tech.

 

writing this as i finish a 3 hour D2 sesh so excuse anything wrong.

Fps games like overwatch, csgo, and warzone but I also play single player games like red dead and planning to buy battlefield 5. Yeah, i wish I could get a more powerful gpu but its too expensive here in new zealand almost double the price compared in US.

What's your budget for the new monitor?

Mid range budget.

Hard to tell with that budget what you mean, but here comes some suggestions.

For more expensive 1440p monitors my suggestions would be:

https://www.rtings.com/monitor/reviews/asus/tuf-vg27aq

https://www.rtings.com/monitor/reviews/lg/27gl850-b

 

These two are pretty similiar, LG is slightly faster, but Asus has better ergonomics.

 

And for little cheaper 1440p monitor I would suggest these

https://www.rtings.com/monitor/reviews/pixio/px7-prime

https://www.rtings.com/monitor/reviews/lg/27gl83a-b

 

Pixio has slightly higher refresh rate, but LG is slightly faster response time.

 

For 240hz I would suggest these.

 

https://www.rtings.com/monitor/reviews/hp/omen-x-25f

 

LG is more expensive than the other two but also an IPS panel, so it has best colors.

The other two are TN panels, Gigabyte is slightly faster one but should also be more expensive compared to the HP.

Does gaming on 1440p severely affect my gaming? I mean is the fps drop or graphics noticeable? Im sorry im not really technical but i red somewhere a 1080p monitor is better for my gpu as its not high end. Please enlighten me.

Yes, in graphically demanding games you'll have to turn down your settings to game well on 1440p. Older games and games that aren't graphically demanding games should work well.

1080p is indeed better resolution for you, if you want to play with high - maxed out graphical settings.

No, but some people really hate 1080p on 27" monitor, as the pixels get larger.

Those 240hz monitors I linked are all 1080p, and I can send you some 144hz 1080p monitors too if you want.

Asus has somewhat better colors than the LG and better ergonomics, but really similiar monitors.

LG technically has HDR, but it's too weak to have any real benefit from it.

Viewsonic is the fastest and cheapest of the bunch and is 24" but it's TN panel so it has worst colors and viewing angles.

Ill probably go with the lg27gl650 as the asus is almost double its price and no one sells the view sonic in my country. Good reviews as well.

240hz your PC is pretty common and I know that it can run most games at competitive settings at 300 FPS+ so you should be good with it.

I would not recommend big monitors for FPS games since they really do affect your eye FOV

I've used 27" monitor for years now and it's been fine.

I assume op doesn't play at a such a high level that the size would be a problem.

Yeah true just a casual gamer. Hard to check out monitors personally because of the lockdown and youtube videos doesnt do justice in showing monitors
