Help with a monitor decision

[Vario]

Just get the monitor and then see if it runs. If it doesn't run, get a new videocard. I ran 1440P for a long time on a 3770K and a GTX 770 2GB. The GTX 770 2GB is about the same as a 1050ti. You don't have to run every game on Ultra or even High to enjoy it.

For upgrade it depends how much money you are willing to spend or literally burn (RTX 2080, 2080 Super and especially RTX 2080 Ti, Ryzen 9, Core i9...).
If you decide to upgrade, I advise looking for Ryzen 5 2600 or 2600X because they might be on a discount compared to 3000-series. RX 5700 XT is a good option because it will outperform RTX 2060, 2060 Super and compete with RTX 2070, but RX 5700 is cheaper and slightly less powerful, thus IMO making it a better option. As for the RAM, check DDR4 3200 fro G.Skill, ADATA or Team. I wouldn't go lower than DDR4 2666 nor higher than 3200 MHz because of the price tag and negligible performance difference.

I would strongly advise you against ridiculous "gaming" TN, VA, AMVA panels and 144Hz 1440p monitor with your current hardware. IPS panel is much more pleasant for eyes, colors are deeper and more accurate. With your current hardware, which isn't that bad, upgrading to 1440p 144 Hz monitor makes zero sense.

Unless you have a CPU equivalent to an i7 4790K or more powerful and GPU like GTX 1070/ higher-clocked Vega 56 or more powerful, forget about 1440p monitors. To actually utilize 144Hz even on a 1080p monitor (only in some games), you'll need a GPU like GTX 1080 Ti, RTX 2080, 2080 Super or 2080 Ti and more powerful CPU.

A RTX 2070 Super is similar in performance to a GTX 1080 Ti according to the benchmarks on this site. A RTX 2080 Super is on average 12% faster than the 2070 Super but it's $200 more and imo not worth it for such a small gain in performance.

GTX 1080Ti is actually slightly faster than RTX 2070 Super and beats it (although by a small margin) in most games. Example:

RTX 2070 SUPER vs GTX 1080 Ti Test in 10 Games

Used GTX 1080Ti in excellent condition with valid warranty is the best possible solution for 1440p gaming, of course if someone wants to buy a used GPU. It also needs to be paired with a decent CPU, not something like i5 2400, i5 6500, Ryzen 3 or similar... and that usually means spending €€€€, especially if you have to buy MOBO, RAM, and other stuff to build a modern powerful gaming machine which will last for 4+ years.

But you can't use VRS or DLSS on a 1080 Ti and that can lead to increased performance on a 2070/super.

Depends on the game but in W1zzard's benches on a 21 game suite the RTX 2070 Super and GTX 1080 Ti are similar in performance. Here is the summary of the 21 games benched using the 2070 Super FE:

since i got a 22' (it's working okay), upgrading to 24' doesn't look like a big deal, yeah ok i would get 144hz and a IPS instead of 60hz TN, but still doesn't feel like it :/ but maybe i'm wrong

My plan was to get first the monitor, then a GPU like RX590, GTX 1070TI, RX 5700XT if on sale.
Then i would wait a couple of months to buy 1 moba and 1 new CPU (and ram ofc). By that time i would have a decent GPU and a monitor to last for years.

Good plan go for it IMO. There is a good chance you can snag great deals the coming half year~year especially on CPU and RAM. For RAM you might want to be a bit faster, or even today... those prices are not going to keep dropping.

Thank you all for your feedback.
I will get the monitor first, i will be able to get a net PC from the begging, but first i will give it a try, to see if i can wait until new GPU releases so i can get better deals on older one's.

What do you think between AOC Q27G2 (VA) and ViewSonic VX2758-2KP-MHD (IPS) ? (assuming it's around the same price)
Would you guys choose the IPS in this case? I can't find many reviews on the viewsonic
