I'm completely torn on what to get. I'm not sure if I should get a 1440p monitor, a 1080p 144hz monitor, or pony up a couple of extra bucks and go 4k. I'm running a GTX 970, so any recommendations from experience would be appreciated.

Would not recommend 27" 1080p irrespective of gpu. Pixel density is too low.

 

Would not recommend 4k either unless you like 24fps cinematic experiences. 

 

23/24" 1080 high refresh, or larger 1440.

Would not recommend 4k with 970 if you play later games. I had that setup, got rid of it :P, luckily got money back after resale. Don't know about 1440p tho, I have read few posts that 970 handles it fairly OK, not best, but OK.
