Is VR worth it at this point?

I'm getting 1000 bucks later this year and in theory I could either spend some of it on upgrading my shitty 24 inch 1080p monitor to a 40 inch 4k ips monitor along with a significant gfx card upgrade over my 2013 r9 270x

Or

A pair of vr goggles and a significant gfx card upgrade over my r9 270x

I'm leaning towards the monitor choice because my current monitor just looks shit. The colours are off and I think an IPS would be a huge improvement as well as a resolution & size upgrade to go with it.
