. Also I will be upgrading my GPU to run these nice things. I was thinking of R 380 or something in that $200 price range.

Thanks

I have been asking myself that same question.
Conclusion for me is that the ultra wide option would work better. The graphics demand of 4k is too high. Even a pair of gtx 970's is not enough.
With the ultra wide a single R9 390 will be enough for decent gaming

I just play FIFA and you can run that with Intel graphics on medium . So do you think R390 be overkill for my needs?
And do you have any other monitors in mind?

I haven't played FIFA.
Sounds like the gtx 960 will have plenty of horse power.

Of the ultrawides i can't get enthusiastic about the curved screens. The image distorts too much at the periphery.

I am thinking of PSU upgrade if I go above GTX 960. I have 460W Dell supply now .

What do you think about 1440p monitors? worth the upgrade from 2560 x 1080?

Honestly I do not have enough experience looking at these monitors , but in general more pixels never hurt anything [ except frame rates ! ]

This was one I have wanted to check out IRL
