Based on this my gut feeling is that you will probably be better off initially purchasing a monitor that covers as much as possible if sRGB gamut. sRGB quite capable of producing stunning images for web and print.
You will also save some cash which could be put aside (and added to) until such time as you feel the need to upgrade and invest in higher end equipment to suit your new needs

It really does depend on what you want to do now and in the future
1. Do you print and if so are you using a service (Lab) or printing yourself?
2. Do you expect screen to print match?
3. Do you have a colour managed editing app. (most should be!) such as Photoshop or Lightroom?
4. Are you able to budget for or already have a calibration tool such as the X-Rite i1Display Pro ?
If you are mainly viewing/transferring images via web then the standard is still sRGB and many print houses seem to deal in sRGB gamut. So you may want to save some cash.

It really depends on how serious you are and how deep pockets and your expectations of monitor usage.
Do you print?
Do you expect screen to print match?
Do you have an editing application that is colour managed e.g. Photoshop or Lightroom?
If considering 4K does your application support GUI scaling correctly - Prior to PS CC not supported
If you want a pro monitor then the CS 240 is an absolute bargain offering Eizo quality and features such as hardware calibration (allow for a calibrator such as i1 Display Pro).
If your budget can stand it and you have the applications to take advantage then 4K may be worth looking at but beware that a bargain buy may not prove cost effective in the mid to long term
