If you're just playing games and not doing anything highly colour sensitive, I would recommend picking up one of the 2560x1440 Korean monitors such as
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=9SIA4JH...
You get much more screen estate being 1440 pixels in height over 1080. 1440p is also still a 16:9 aspect ratio, over the 21:9 meaning less scaling problems for some media. (Scaling not really an issue overall)
I myself am actually using this QNIX monitor, but with a 750Ti. I have the monitor running at 2560x1440 @ 120Hz without any issues at all, There is only the option to change the brightness, and On/Off however, no OSD for colour changes.
These Korean monitors are simply just a Samsung PLS panel, slapped together into a Monitor frame with a 'bypass board' to skip expensive circuitry.
