Great deal or am I a sucker?

So newegg has these for $279.99 with promo code right now: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16824025112

I'm about to build a new PC with an R9 390x GPU. Is this monitor about the best I can get before i start getting into the $600+ range? Will the 60hz be noticeable at all playing games like Black Desert or any other upcoming graphically intense MMO?

it's an alright deal.

60hz is very standard, it means your screen supports 60fps.

the 5ms response time isn't superb, its pretty average.

Overall its a pretty average monitor, you are definitely paying for free sync and ultra wide.

For an ultrawide that isn't a bad deal. looks like a pretty decent monitor w/freesync

Would I be better off going with one of these Korean monitors? http://www.ebay.com/itm/Perfect-Pixel-YAMAKASI-M280PU-Real-4K-UHD-28-LED-3840x2160-60Hz-DP-HDMI-Monitor-/401073660255?hash=item5d61da615f:g:EUgAAOSwll1WxYyh

They seems to be alright, but the build quality is poor, warranty is poor.

But that price tag....

I probably wouldn't buy a Korean monitor as your primary, they aren't reliable and are full of minor issues like back light bleed.

I think I'm going to roll the dice on this sucker: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=9SIA90V3V03945

Worst case (aside from a DOA) is I make it my secondary monitor.
