You'll need a fairly decent GPU to run games well @ 1440p
Generally 24 inch is 1080p
Move up to 27 inch for 1440p
That DELL model is 1440p/60Hz, it won't be good for gaming really.
If you are into FPS games then get this BenQ 24" 1080p 144 hz monitor instead, it's one of the best 24" monitors for fast FPS games:

If you really want 144Hz alot cheaper, go with 24-inch / 1080p / 144Hz
Such as Acer, Asus, BenQ
Acer, Asus, BenQ, Samsung, LG
are basically leading the way... go look at what they have available, the reviews, the specs, etc...
Dell is not interested in the gaming community.
GTX 970 really is barely enough to run 1440p well anyways; stick to 1080p/144Hz
Or get a better GPU, like 980 Ti, 1070, 1080
Personally, I got a 21:9 ultrawide monitor last time I upgraded and haven't looked back. Gaming in 21:9 is so much nicer than 16:9.
Go back to your reading please... you are not helping anyone.
A higher resolution is only useful if you can see each pixel, and individual pixels are important.
A 27", 2560x1440 monitor achieves this. A 24" with such resolution would have pixels too small to see.
A 970 is a decent card. However, if you play mostly action games, the time resolution is a *LOT* more important than the horizontal and vertical resolutions.
Also, there is something called anti-aliasing which emulates a higher resolution on a lower-resolution screen.
Most games look better at 1080p with anti-aliasing than at 1440p without.
Having a high resolution for the sake of having a high resolution doesn't do anything for you, not at the current ones, and especially not while playing fast-paced games.
Take it from someone who has been through the whole 60hz/120hz (or 144hz) argument every which way: you're MUCH better off with a high refresh rate screen.
