Hey there! I'm thinking about upgrading my current monitor, which is an MSI G241, a 24-inch 1080p IPS display with a 144Hz refresh rate. I'm considering moving to a bigger 27-inch 2K IPS monitor with a refresh rate above 144Hz. I mostly enjoy playing CS2 and other FPS games, but I'm curious if my PC can handle 144+ frames at 2K settings. I know it'll probably do well in games like CS and Valorant, but I'm uncertain about more demanding single-player games and AAA titles. My current setup includes a Ryzen 5 7600 processor, 32GB of DDR5 RAM at 6000MHz, and an AMD 7800 XT with 16GB of memory. Do you think upgrading to a 2K 144Hz monitor is a smart move for me?

You've definitely got the right specs to handle gaming at 1440p! I recommend checking out a monitor like the AOC Q27G40XMN, which is a 27-inch 1440p monitor with a 180Hz refresh rate available for around $200. You should notice a significant improvement in visuals with that upgrade!
I'm a bit torn between VA and IPS for my next monitor too. Mini LEDs catch my eye, but they seem tough to get around here. I'm currently looking at brands like MSI and AOC, but they just have the usual options.
