Thanks!

Multi-monitor is awesome when it works, though not every game supported it and sometimes you'll have to use mods to get it working (and sometimes it just won't work at all). Some big games have native multi-monitor support like Rise of the Tomb Raider and GTA V, though others do not. It really is amazing though, and takes gaming to another level. DOOM was unbelievable with triple 1440p screens. That said, the driver situation (at least with Nvidia) is a little wonky and some stuff is just broken (alt-tab menu showing on wrong monitor, random glitches with start menu, some games crashing, etc.). I actually have Surround disabled right now and my machine is way more solid. I'll enable it when I want to play a Surround game.

I also run 144Hz G-Sync screens, and that's cool as well. The advantage is that 144Hz G-Sync works in just about every game and you don't really get too many bugs (except there was a flickering thing when using G-Sync and SLI but Nvidia fixed it). If you play competitive online games, high refresh g-sync will help your game and give a slight advantage. But it's not fundamentally different. Same experience, just smoother.

Thanks for the advice! I live in Japan and actually have situation where the 27" 144hz I was looking at is back ordered till September and the 34" 100hz ultrawide is in stock. So it looks like I'm going wide (and broke;). Both monitors are IPS and have Gsync so pretty excited (mainly loving The Long Dark at the moment which supports Ultrawide so can't wait to see the difference in this game). I picked up Doom on sale so looking forward to playing that to see what my new rig can do with that game.

Nice!
