This is what I have currently. Expensive, but worth it. Sometimes you can catch a good deal on them during certain times of the year.

This is what you want: Asus PB287Q
Lots of people sell it. Fry's has the best price at the moment.
This is a 4k display port monitor with a 1ms refresh rate. It's amazing for games.
I have 5 of these, I've been using them for years. They are excellent monitors.
With a GTX 1080 you can run most games in 4k. The ones that lag, just run them at 2.5k instead.
The 60 Hz is fine for 60 fps which is really the limit when you have resolutions this high. No way to get higher frame rates with this beautiful resolution in the foreseeable future.
Don't buy a more expensive 4k, it's just a waste. Don't buy a huge one with slow draw rates, you'll see tons of tearing in high fidelity games, it defeats the purpose of 4k. Bigger, slower monitors are only good for videos. 1ms is amazing for games.

Watch this and decide
Asus makes both variants, TN and IPS.
For my use case the TN works great. This guy explains it really well tho.
Also, checking out the monitor and even Asus own site says that one is normal 60hz. As far as Frye's, don't have one near me.
Yeah, so many choices. If I'm gonna be spending $500 on a monitory, might as well bite the bullet and go for the XB271HK. 4k IPS and when G-Sync is enabled 75hz refresh rate.
SMH.
TO much info!
I may just go 144hz and go from there.
FWIW I just saw this news report: (It's 2 months old)
TL;DR Asus and Acer are releasing 144 Hz 4K G-Sync monitors in early 2018. So if you can wait 3-6 months then you probably want to wait.

Or wait for those to hit the market and everything else is going to get cheaper and then you can have even MOARRRRRRRRRRR monitors for less. :)
The thing is, no one knows WHEN in 2018 it will be released. And I doubt its gonna go down that much.
