Any idea where I can get a decent 4/5k monitor for my pic under £500?

Been trying to educate myself on what to get for a gaming monitor.
Preferably 120hz or more.
Most 120hz monitors are actually only 60hz.

Scratching my head over all the tech jargon

Thanks

I have a gtx 1060 6gb card if that means anything.
Problem I have is that I want to upgrade my old 21" 7 year old monitor without wanting to upgrade again in a couple years.
I had a new iMac last year and the graphics were astounding!

I'm reading that 60hz has motion blur rather than 120hz.
Also wqhd isn't as good as 4k?

You should've kept quiet guys. The lolz that could've been had from him trying to run something like Crysis at 4k from his 1060 would have been hilarious. "Guys, I think my PC might have a virus - whenever I try to play anything it's like a slideshow and my PC keeps freezing". hehe
That's why I asked! hehe

If I go for a full hd monitor I doubt I'll need to spend £500.
I'm sure there will be some great monitors at £300ish. Just not sure which spec or brand is best at that budget.
