Well you don't really say what you want this for, and considering you have a GTX 680...
Best monitor now: Asus PG27UQ (27" DisplayHDR 1000 and proper FALD backlight)
Best large size: Philips Momentum (40" 4K DisplayHDR 1000, but many will find this choice problematic)
Best ultrawide: Acer Predator x34
Many will disagree, but those would be my choices.

I was too hasty with that post, I will give more details and update my sig. I will be almost exclusively gaming. Here are my PC's specs
CPU: Intel Core i7-8700K
Motherboard: MSI Z370M Gaming Pro AC
Memory: G.Skill Trident Z RGB 16GB 2 x 8GB DDR4-3200
Video Card: Nvidia Titan XP
Power Supply: SeaSonic 650W FOCUS Plus 650 Gold SSR-650FX
Storage: SAMSUNG 500GB 970 EVO MZ-V7E500BW
Case: HP Omen X
CPU Cooler: CORSAIR Hydro Series H60

Too small, 4K is pointless under 30"
Interesting

Too few games support that resolution
Thanks for the suggestions

I'm using a Samsung Q7F. It's been pretty nice so far. Probably not quite the picture quality of the LG C8, but it comes close and you don't have to worry about burn-in.
I got it mostly because it supports FreeSync, but even without that it looks great.
They have a Game Motion Plus mode which smooths out frames with minimal lag. I would say it can make a 60fps game look like 90fps (the lag is there, but with an Xbox pad it's manageable).
It can also do 120Hz at 1440p or 1080p, which is a nice option for games that can hit those framerates.
I got the 55" size, which is a little too big for a monitor, but I'm making it work. I looked at the Philips and doing it again I would have done more research as 40" is a better size.
