Recently built this PC, a significant upgrade from my old PC, but wondering If I should bother buying a 1440p monitor to go with it, or if my new machine wouldn't really be able to make full use of it. Currently have a 144Hz 1080p monitor.

It'll 2k game in lots of games for sure, so you could get a 1440p.

And you could keep your 1080p and run a dual monitor setup. So if you're playing a super graphically intensive game and the 6800 is struggling on 2k to get the frames you want, you could default the game to your 1080p screen and game on that instead. Just have to get a mount that gives you flexibility to shift your monitors around. Or, get two single arm mounts to give you a lot of movement with both monitors.

I hope you didn't pay that much for the GPU. For $400 less you would have got a newer version of it with better features and newer architecture and longer driver support, for $70 less you could have just gotten a WAY better GPU than that which is also new, better architecture, better features, better driver support, and just plain better performance in the 9070/9070XT.
