I was thinking of upgrading to 1440p for a little while now and this seems like a pretty good deal. https://www.microcenter.com/product/503505/kg271u-27-wqhd-144hz-hdmi-dp-freesync-gaming-led-monitor

Should I get this or some other monitor? I'm also thinking of getting a wall mount so the stand won't bother me unless it isn't vesa compatible. Any suggestions would be great, on what monitor I should get.

Ryzen 5 1600x

GTX 1070 TI +100 Core Clock +300 Memory clock

Trident Z RGB 16GB 3000Mhz

$20 off is a pretty mediocre deal. I'd see if something better pops up on Black Friday.

Thats what I'm planning on doing, I was just asking if I should get a different brand or something, but thanks!

This is the one I got Black Friday last year from Best Buy, it is 1440p, 144Hz, G-Sync for $350.00, original price $600. Right now it is on sale for myBestBuy Early Access, but it will be on sale for B.F. also.
