Currently, I have one monitor: a samsung 21.5" 1080p monitor with 2ms response time. I use it to mainly play fps games on my xbox ( which is why i have the 2ms response time).
I ordered a new pc, and I want it to be a dual monitor setup.

Should I get another 2ms 1080p monitor in a similar size, or should i use the 2ms one that i have already and get an ultra wide screen with a 5 ms response time?
If the latter is chosen, I would use the Ultra Wide as my main screen and put my current one off to the side.

Also, if it matters, my pc specs: ( i don't want frames dropping just because my one graphics card can't handle it)
quad core i7 4790k 4.0GHz
16GB 1866 ram
1x nvidia geforce GTX 980
 
Solution
You'd rather just get a 27" 1440p monitor. Ultra wide screen is only practical for watching movies.

The response time of the monitor depends on the panel technology rather than the screen size/dimensions.
