Upgrading from 1080p

I currently game at 1080p and just upgraded my Sandy Bridge system from a GTX 780 to a 1070 and am now thinking of upgrading to a higher resolution. My current monitors are in my sig, the 27" Samsung is 1920x1080 (main display for games) and my secondary is the 24" Dell at 1920x1200. The Samsung would become the secondary monitor and the Dell would go to work.

Any suggestions for 1080p+ resolution monitors that will still let me play games on the highest settings with my 1070? I would like to keep the monitor around $300-$350 if that's possible.

Games I'm currently playing:
WoW Legion (raiding)
DOOM
Fallout 4

System specs are in my sig.

Thanks!

Get a 1440P monitor and never look back to 1080P again
4K people regret sometimes because the newer games demand alot of juice.
With G-Sync technology in monitors you won't have to worry about lower frames per second cause they sync up if they are still high enough 30+ or more.
You will notice more pop in games with Gsync 1440P then running Ultra settings with 1080P. Just because the higher pixel density will make stuff look cleaner and sharper.
 
I'm in the same boat as you. unless you can spend $700 for a ips, 1440p, 120+hz gsync monitor. the korean ips/pls 1440p, overclockable monitors may still be the way to go. they are $200-$300. I don't think theres a name brand 1440p, ips, 90hz+ that is under $600

the problem is, screen tearing sucks and vsync can cause a lot of input lag depending on the game. theres a few new(i think) vsync modes in the nvidia control panel. "adaptive" and "fast". that im trying to learn more about to see if gsync is worth that price increase.
