Kind of an awkward spot if you want something that can do 4k HDR and 120hz+. You can certainly get one, but it's going to run you 2000$. The best monitors to future proof yourself would be the ASUS ROG PG27UQ or the Acer Predator X27. But again, those will run you between 1700-2000$.
You'll have to consider compromises if you want a monitor that can do everything right now. In order to not break the bank and still have 4k & HDR, you'll have to get a 60hz monitor. Or you'll have to forgo 4k and get a 1440p 144hz monitor. Another thing to consider is that it is extremely unlikely you'll be able to run games at 4k with over 60 fps with just a 2070. Most of the time on modern games, you'll be running around 50-60 on ultra/high. Unless you are playing DMC5 or DOOM, which are extremely well optimized.
For PC right now, I consider G-sync and high, stable frame rates much more impressive than 4k. Especially with a 27' monitor, which honestly is kind of hard to decipher a difference between 1440p and 4k at that size. The frame rate, however, is very noticeable.
Monitor's also don't seem to have great HDR yet. It's functional, but it just kind of seems to be a check box for companies right now when marketing them. If you want fantastic HDR, you're going to have to look into getting a 4k television.
