27" 1920x1080 to 29" 2560x1080 or 27" 2560x1440?

I've seen a lot of cool videos of offscreen looks at 21:9 monitors and I think they look pretty awesome for gaming.

On the other hand I've heard a lot of great things about the 27" 2560x1440 monitors because of 120hz oc's.

So which one would I enjoy more for gaming? Also I'm not the biggest snob for response time.

27" 2560x1440. going from 1080p to 1440 on 27"~28" is a very big leap on visual quality. on a side note, at 27"~28" almost no noticeable difference between 1440p and 4K, so buying 1440p at that res will save you from upgrading for quite long time unless you want to go higher size (32"++)

Not many games support 21:9, go 1440p, also 120hz is just uncomparable to 60hz, makes the games look so fluid (make sure you use dvi cable, some hdmi cables support 120hz but they are rare and $$)

I have a gtx 670 with 2gb of vram. Would that suffice @ that resolution + 120hz?
