Alright, so I've been going back and forth for months about whether to buy a new monitor or not (mostly restless my PC is done, basically - built it not even a year ago so I can't get away with replacing parts, yet...) and wanted some advice on a particular one I have my eye on.
I play mostly RPGs and Strategy/Sim games (Witcher 3/Fallout/Skyrim/Total war/Civ/Xcom etc) so I'm looking for something more immersive and vibrant, so I've settled on ISP (with advice from here).

Price is reasonable, reviews are great. Couple of questions: Is it worth going to this "mid level" or should I save up and go to G-sync and/or 4k? 27 inch is about what I think I want (currently on a 23 inch), much bigger would overwhelm the desk and I only use it as a PC monitor so I'm always close to it.
Also, 2k: I have a GTX1060 6gig; will I be able to max out games with the 2k resolution? I've been on the step below that forever (1080? I think) and am maxing games now, running no more than 72/73 degrees F at the most demanding times (Witcher cut scenes, strangely enough). I have my eye on that new Wolfenstein game too, for my first FPS in forever.
Is the jump to 2k that "worth it" as well? I've never seen it in action (a 2k display).
In short: Convince me I'm not wasting 325 dollars haha. I can repurpose my old monitor for a triple display at my workstation so I've already convinced myself that's saving me 120 bucks...
