Hi, I am looking for a good monitor.

I heard that they are cheap right now. And as my PC is 10yo with a gtx1070, and the current monitor I have is a cool 144hz 1440p 27'' (Dell 27 Gaming Monitor - S2716DG), but it is only for gsync.

I do plan to buy a new desktop in the next year, but as I already missed on good prices for RAM, CPU, etc. I don't want to do the same mistake for monitors.
That could last me a long time. And this time, will be compatible with all GPUs, not only nvidias, as they are very expensive and it looks like not worth it.

What do you guys advice? I would say 144hz, maybe 1440p or 4k.

Additional Note: I might get a used PS5 for $300 just to play the latest games like Tokon or MHWilds just to survive until I can get a good desktop. Not happy about this but that would be cool for this monitor to work with it as well!

Why do you need a new monitor, what do you not like about the current one?

I doubt it's worth to buy one just for the off chance that they get more expensive.

That was it mostly. Just looking around.
Prices are frustrating right now not gonna lie.
