New Monitor Help

I've been using a 24" iiyama monitor for about 9yrs now and I've started thinking some of the colours appear somewhat washed out, I cant seem to improve this much so maybe its time for an upgrade.

I've got a 3570k cpu & gtx 1060 gfx card, will hopefully upgrade the cpu soon then possibly the gfx card further down the line, I tend not to play FPS but do like a bit of pubg/the division every now and then amongst the strategy games like SC2 & Xcom etc.

I was thinking of going 1440p 144hz gsync but the price is more than id like to pay, any suggestions? Do I need gsync?

That's kind of what I was thinking, run games at 1080 still until upgrade really allows this so at least then its future proofed a bit. Still a whole lot of cash which makes me wonder is it worth going gsync for the games I play?

That video sure does make it look smooth, just unsure if its worth that much to upgrade it or would a bog standard monitor be sufficient again. I guess is it worth the extra cash for a gsync monitor for general use/casual gaming?

Thinking about it some more, how is a 27" monitor for 1080p gaming, seems until I get a 1080/2080 I wont be able to game at 1440p and a gfx card upgrade is behind upgrading everything else sadly.
