So over the Christmas season I have gained myself some money numbering £400~. I currently have a dating GPU and a very shitty monitor. I have narrowed myself down to a 3 options. 1) Get a GTX 1070 and upgrade monitor later 2)Get a really nice monitor and upgrade GPU later 3)Get a GTX 1060 and get a 144 hertz or 1440p monitor. I would very much appreciate the communities input. As a footnote, if you have any recommendations for monitors please add it to your reply :)

gtx 1070 now, nice monitor later. if your monitor is like 1080p 60 hz, you'll be fine for a year.

hmm... about that i have a 720p "grundig" hdready tv im pretty sure fell off the back of a van. But i see your point, and im sure I can wait a little longer as I have already waited nearly 2 years

my friend plays on a 16:9 32 inch 720p TV. as long as there isnt too much of an input delay, you'll be fine

Yeah its more the pixel density and colour accuracy, but i guess I'l just upgrade at a later point
