Hey;

My idea in choosing a monitor is to choose the monitor that would run my ideal set up. For example: 4K monitor vivid and vibrant colors, 1ms, 144hz and Gsync.

My current gpu can't run a decent fps on 4k but alright with 2k. I would run the games on 2k resolution and when I upgrade lets say in 2 years. My monitor would not need to be replaced.

I don't think there is a huge difference in price between 2K and 4K monitors currently. If this is stupid let me know or a monitor of choice that would be better. :D

You can probably grow into your 3K monitor over time. Right now, there is very little media, including games, that are written to the $K (UHD) standard. It's really a question of cost vs. benefit. If you wait, the 4k monitors will drop in price and probably have improvements not available today.
