Suggest me a Monitor. I am lost!

naskon

Hello, I recently built my first PC alone. Something that I was willing to do for over 3-4 years. My PC is with the following parts:

Motherboard: GA-AX370-Gaming5
CPU: Ryzen 5 1600x
CPU Cooler: be Quiet! Dark Rock Pro 3
RAM: TridentZ RGB DDR4 3200

GPU: GTX 1080 G1 Gaming Gigabyte
PSU: be quiet! Straight Power 10!
Storage: NVMe M.2 Samsung 960 Evo 250 GB  /  Seagate Firecuda 2 TB SSHD
Case: Dark Base Pro 900

     Since I went "all-in" with the budget on the PC, I was left with my old monitor which is LG Flatron W2241S which is with resolution of1680x1050 (Yes GTX 1080 and with a monitor that is not even Full HD 1080p) due to "No money left" for anything else. Now is pretty much my only chance to change it during the upcoming Black Friday. I my original idea was to aim at something that is around 27". I like to play games like World of Tanks, League of Legends, Skyrim, Minecraft (heavily modded), GTA and games like that. Also I enjoy watching movies from my bed which is around 3 m (around 9.8 feet) from my monitor and when I am doing everything else on my PC I am standing around 1m away or 3ft.
   To be honest I got lost with the whole ideas with the different types of panels, and which one will fit me best. Also now I am not sure if 27" monitor is the size I'm looking after. After watching all the monitor guides that are in YouTube, to be honest I am not sure about anything, what resolutions, refresh rate, panel type. I am aware of the Screen tearing, screen bleeding, and coil whine (my current monitor is suffering from a very annoying coil whine). All I know for sure is that I can not afford anything more than 570$. I am hoping that I can get my hands on something that is close to the durability of my current monitor (he is on his 8th year) and my future plan is to buy a second monitor in 6 months to 1 year.

    I would be very grateful if you are able to help me to pick a monitor, because at the moment I am very confused. 

Edit: Budget update! 400 USD 570 USD

Maybe keep your eye out for this monitor to drop a little more:

Sadly I live in Bulgaria and at the moment this monitor Acer Predator XB271HU here, costs 820 USD which is way over my budget. Generally the prices here are around 30-50% higher than in USA

Luckily I managed to rise my budget to 570 USD \o/! VX3209-2K is not available here, for some strange reason, nobody is selling one, but LG 34UC79G looks amazing and if I don't find anything else for approx the same price, I might actually buy it!
