Should I buy a decent 27" 4K monitor, or a full HD or 2K 31" monitor.

I use my PC Mainly for gaming, and I know there aren't many 4K games out yet, but is it worth to invest?

I got around 450$ to spend, and play some FPS games and LoL and DotA 2.

Thanks <3

What are your pc specs? For lol and dota definitely 4k imo.

Don't ask to ask, just ask... please 🤨

I'm no expert but my opinion is that it may be nice to invest in a 4k monitor. Even though there arent many games out yet that are 4k compatible, you will have a 4k monitor when the time comes. Plus, I just received an email yesterday about this deal. Its only 50$ over your budget and a slightly larger screen. Linus also has a review on the monitor on the LinusTechTips YouTube channel.

Updated.

 

your current gpu doesn't support 4k resolutions. However if you upgrade to a 970 definitely go 4k.

I have a 4k monitor, I still haven't encountered a game that didn't run at that resolution save extremely old games with no resolution options.
