I'm looking to buy a monitor for gaming and my budget is about 300 euros. I mainly play single-player games and World of Warcraft. I'm interested in a 1440p monitor but can't decide between a 27" or a 32". Also, I'd like to know what type of panel would be best, especially since I have an RX7800 XT GPU.

I switched to a 27" 1440p after using a 21" 1080p and it was a game changer for me! But now, five years on, I'm kinda wishing I had opted for a 32" instead.
If you want the 32", just make sure you have enough depth on your desk to keep it at a comfortable distance. My IKEA Fredde desk is too shallow for a 32" monitor, even though I find it usable on a regular desk.
I have about 40cm from my head to my monitor. Is that enough distance for a 32"?
I'd go with the 27" if you want to avoid straining your eyes. It’s a more comfortable size for gaming, especially if you're sitting closer to the screen.
For 300 euros, you can find IPS panels with smooth specs like 240Hz and low response times. Definitely worth considering!
I was thinking about that too, but most people suggest going for a 4K monitor if you're going for 32".
