Monitor for Gaming

Hi all.

I've been looking around, getting ideas for a system I want to build in a few months, (hopefully). I'm really confused on the monitor.
There are so many different types, 4k, 1080p, 1440, 120hz, 144hz.

What is best for gaming?
Im thinking about getting a gtx970 when i build the system, if that helps.

Cheers, Jason

Undecided, but looking around at the different monitors, id say anything up to £500.

I'm not really sure what id like tbh.
It's been quite a few years since I played games, and when I did, I used a CRT monitor. But I want to get back into gaming now and don't really know what sort of monitor to go for.

Thanks for all your input guys

Would I be wasting money on buying a gtx 970 and only running at 1080p?
I suppose I could upgrade in the future though.
