Upgrade to 1440p with my build?

What's a GPU?

So I recently built my first computer, however I did not buy a new monitor. I am currently using an LG Flatron w2340vg, I have no complaints about it and it is 1080p. As I am beginning to realize the amount of power this computer has though I am wondering if I am wasting some potential by only using a 1080 monitor vs 1440. I wouldn't really want to spend a lot on an upgrade either, but what are some thoughts on the necessity of upgrading?

Do it, you have enough performance.

"Have you tried turning it off and on again?"

The Korean ones are the best for the price
