Getting ready to upgrade from 1080p was thinking about going to 1440p. All hardware issues aside. Should I go with a 1440p monitor or a 4k monitor .

What country are you located, what is your budget, what are your current PC specs and what games do you normally play?
Hi Why_Me,
That info was coming in the next post but happy to provide now.
This PC is used for gaming and my regular day to day stuff.
Current system: Desk Top system
Processor: Ryzen 7 1700
Memory: 16 GB
Video card: dual GeForce GTX 1070 (SLI configuration).
Monitor Asus VE247 (108p max res.)
Not going with SLI in the upgrade.
I live in the US.
Upgrade goal: upgrade the monitor and video card to enable 1440p (4k someday?)
Budget wise I am retired so cannot go for the top of the line (another reason to go with 1440p)
I have been looking at these monitors:
Gigabyte M32Q $399
Asus PG329Q $599
Ultimately may drop down to a 27” monitor.
GPU cannot go to $1, 000 maybe $600-$700 might be able to push it a bit more.
Games I like:
FPS-Battlefield series, call of duty, etc.
world of warships
Home world
I may jump into Arma 3
Looking forward to Starfield
Back in the day I lived in America’s Army
Thanks so much for your help!

Before getting a new gpu and monitor I would look into getting a new board, cpu, RAM and possibly a psu depending on the age of your current one.
If your motherboard supports Ryzen 5000 series cpu's with updates I would look at this cpu.

AMD Ryzen 5 5600 $137.99
Paired up with this RAM if your board supports DDR4 3200.
G.Skill Ripjaws V DDR4-3200 32GB (2x16GB) CL16 $61.99

Why_Me,
Good advice. It will be fun, To update my Bios up to current it is about 15 bios upgrades.
Although I have a few questions that might be dumb questions currently my MOB has a 7 1700x processor. You are recommending going to a 5 5600. Why not something like a 7 5800x. I see that the 5 has 2 fewer cores than the 7. it that why? I appreciate your comments
Mike
The 5600 would be a big step up from your current cpu without taking a big bite out of your budget. The other recommendation would be the Ryzen 7 5700X.
Brian, check out my post "Upgrading the CPU on an Asrock MOB IMPORTANT LESSION LEARNED" in the desktop hardware section.
Thanks for all your help!
