I think I have gotten everything narrowed down and now I am having second thoughts about the monitor. I have a budget of 1700 which I have maxed out. I work as an architect and will be rendering, 3d modeling, and using cad. I also will use it as a personal computer for gaming, movies, ect. Originally I was thinking of using this one:

but now I am not sure because the aspect ratio is so odd. Any suggestions that would be better and not break the bank? I will attach the full build below too. Thank you for your help. I am fairly new to all of this.

Thanks for the idea but a little too much for me at the moment. I am probably going to stick with the one I've got after some of the looking around I've been doing.

How about I change your mind with this one with the same specs as the LG 25UM56-P.

This one came up on newegg when I was comparing the other two you sent. What do you think?
