So I just upgraded to a 1070 recently and I am looking to upgrade my monitor setup.  I currently have 3 monitors at 1080p 60hz, and will likely be replacing 1 or 2 of them.  I would love to get a 1440p 144hz display but they are generally out of my price range at the moment.  I'm looking for something <$300 USD .  I play fast paced games so I think I would prefer 144hz vs 1440p, which also limits me to 24" since I'm not a huge fan of 27" 1080p.  

 

I would ideally replace the monitors 1:1 but I am open to an ultrawide if it can provide a similar experience to 2 monitors for a reasonable price. 

 

My specs are:

i7-4790k

GTX 1070

16gb DDR3

ive considered overclocked monitors but im a little hesitant based on the inconsistency i see in reviews.  Id rather have something slightly more expensive and more reliable.
