Should I buy 1080p 120hz monitor or 1440p 120hz monitor?

 

I have a 1070 and i7 8700k, can my gpu handle the 1440p monitor?

 

I wanted something under 250$, and I found this

But it's AMD Freesync, so im not sure if it will be okay or not

 

 

any recommendations?

OFF TOPIC: I suggest every poll from now on to have "**CK EA" option instead of "Other"

your gpu *should* be able to handle it. as for freesync, i don't think it will affect anything?

I would go with a 1440p personally, and don't worry about the FreeSync - I have a XF270HU which is a 144hz 1440p w/ FreeSync but I'm running a 1080Ti (I didnt feel like shelling out for GSync).   I'm actually thinking of moving up to 4k, but need to find a panel that's good for work (photo & video editing and play)
