Best Monitor for my new pC build?

Hi All,

I'm looking to update my monitor by the end of this year. This is my current PC setup right now with a Dell U2711 Monitor.

I don't have a budget and want to spoil myself with the newest and "best" 4K resolution monitor currently on the market or coming up in the next few months. I've heard that 27 inch monitors are optimal for gaming, but starting to see a lot of 32 inch monitors coming in to play. Also, a fellow redditor told me to wait for Asus's 4k/144hz behemoth that's on the way in Q3 this year (couldn't find it online, if someone has more information on this monitor please link here).

  • Budget: No Budget

  • Prospective Resolution (3840x2160, etc.): Maximum

  • Size (27 inches, etc.): 27 or 32 inches

  • Aspect Ratio (16:9, etc.): Maximum

  • Usage Type (gaming, art, etc.): Mainly gaming.

Below is my new PC build, I'm just waiting for a few items to go on sale before I finish putting my new mod together. Looking for a monitor to pair with this build.
