I think it's time for an upgrade

I built my very first computer in 2016. I'm still using the same parts. However I recently figured I think it's time for an upgrade and new monitor for better visuals would be the right way forward.

What monitor should I be looking at?

What is your current monitor?

What do you want to focus on more, resolution or refresh rate or maybe colour accuracy? We'll need to know what you do with your pc before advice can be given

Sorry I should have put that in my post. Here's the problem I have and I'm very confused. When I build my pc I was a fps competitive gamer so having a constant 144 fps to match my 144hz monitor was just too good at the time. However now I play games more casual such as world of warcraft. I want better visuals and better colours but how will my 980ti be able to reach fps at 144hz on a 1440p monitor. i hope i don't sound too confusing but what difference will i see in playing on a 144hz 1080p monitor for all these years to a new 1440p monitor. can i even reach 144hz on a 1440p monitor with my current setup?

i think the problem i have right now is how i have been spoiled with good fps to match my monitors 144hz all these years. i don't know if i could even get used to a possible 60hz monitor on 1440p

These parts need to be upgraded, too.

You don't provide the most important information - what is your current framerate in the games that you run?
If you can't even hit 60 FPS, then it doesn't make sense to again target 144 or 240 Hz screens.

You can try with this one:

My basket at Overclockers UK:

• 1 x LG 24UD58 24" 3840x2160 4K IPS 60Hz FreeSync Widescreen LED Gaming Monitor - Black= £259.99

Total: £271.09 (includes shipping: £11.10)
​

But remember - you need a new graphics card and the whole platform changed.

Wait what? I need to fully upgrade my PC just to upgrade my monitor? I thought a 980ti was overkill for my current monitor but i've used it for 6 years. i really need to upgrade?

i can easily achieve a solid 144+ fps in most games which makes it smooth for my 144hz.
