Hello all, I am new to the forum and haven't really kept up with new computer technology for the last 10 years really. I just purchased a new computer and want to buy a monitor that will match up well with what i got, in terms of performance and graphics. Here are the specs on what i just bought:

MSI Z390 A-PRO, Intel Core i5 9600k 6 Core 4.6GHz, DDR4 2666MHz Memory - 16GB, Corsair CX750M Semi-Modular Power Supply, NVIDIA RTX 2070 8GB GDDR6, Western Digital Blue 1TB - 7200RPM 3.5" HDD ( 1TB HDD ), M.2 Solid State ( 120GB M.2 ), 550LC CPU Cooler, Windows 10 Home Premium 64-Bit.

How good of a monitor should I get or will this system run well. 1080p? 1440p? 4k? This is all new to me so some links or direction to what I should be looking at would be very helpful.

Thank you again

Honestly, for a device (a monitor), that you're going to be spending a significant amount of time (I assume, since they last 10-15 years or more) in front of, you might want to do some homework, rather than just "pick one" of size A, B, or C. (1080P, 1440P, or 4K UHD).

If you're going 4K, you can also consider a "smaller" (like 40-43") 4K UHD TV, as a display monitor, although refresh rates for gaming might be slower, or have higher latency ("lag"). I don't play many games these days, so my 40" 4K UHD TV is perfect for a desktop display.

You should look at some benchmark sites, like techpowerup.com , that give a whole ranking chart, to video cards, at certain resolutions, with a wide swath of current games. Then consider the frame-rates that you like as a minimum for gaming, and since you already picked out the video card, look up those charts, and see what frame rates you get, at 1080P, 1440P, and 4K UHD.
