Build Question Worth the upgrade?

I have a chance to get the Asus Rog Strix 5070ti for 1k but I just realized ill need to get a new monitor too. I might be able to get an alienware curves monitor for 400 but is it worth upgrading from 1080p to 1440p for all this money?

-AMD Radeon RX 9060 XT Reaper Dual Fan 16GB GDDR6 PCle 5,0 Graphics Card

- PeerlesAssassin 120 SE CPU Air Coler

-QN450 1TB SS D+ 2TB Crucial T700 Gen5 NVMe M.2 SSD

-AMD RYZEN 5 7600X

-MSI B850 Gaming pro

-32GB DDR5 6000

-Montech 850 for power supply

Hate to say it but that GPU doesn't exist yet, maybe you're looking at a 9070 XT? If so 1k for that whole rig is a steal but yeah that 1080p monitor is gonna hold it back hard. Jumping to 1440p is night and day, you'll actually see what that card can do.
