I don't know which monitor and resolution would provide me with the most enjoyable experience. The games I will be playing are Doom, Assassins Creed, Battlefield, Witcher 3, and Crysis 3. I was actually looking at the ASUS MG248Q and the LG 29UM68-P Ultrawide display. But again as this is my first ever pc build, I would like some suggestions in order to make an educated choice that provides me the best experience my system can deliver.

Thanks,
