Hold one for me till payday please Gibbo
Can't wait to see how you explain this one to the Mrs.
"Uhm its the same as the one I have but this one has gsync"
"What's gsync?"
"A revolutionary frame rendering method gamers dream of, only avail...."
"Snore, what ever darling"
I did a ton of OT last month that easily covers it and enough to take her shopping, so I wouldn't need to explain 
I just worry about it being Acer but saying that, the Acer 1650P screen I had was a good image, so happy to risk it.

Acer are one of the worlds largest manufacturers, they generally churn out very good stuff.

Yer, I did some research and lots of pluses. VESA mount would be sweet if it has it?
Are you going to sell the Samsung Gregster.

I think there was and still is a certain stigma attached to Acer like all they sold was cheap tat but they do make some good stuff
It sure does
New desk + a pair of vesa swivel arms on order. My mrs is going to flip her lid

Would this run this monitor OK?
Inno3D GeForce GTX 780 iChill HerculeZ X3 Ultra 6144MB GDDR5 PCI-Express Graphics Card
Along with a i7 4960X in am ASUS Rampage X79 black edition and 64GB of HyperX beast.
Am I likely to have problems?
I was considering an Asus SonicMaster MX279H 27" but now I'm thinking about 4K since the prices have come down so dramatically.

If you haven't purchased any of this yet....
4930k over the 4960x, same chip different price.
64gb ram, do you need 64gb? Absolutely enormous strain on the CPU.
Use money saved from the above for another one of those 780 6gb cards.
On my previous post I assumed you had the gear.
If you plan to buy though,
CPU consider the 4820K also, save the money from the 4960X and 4930K. Except you need them, for gaming they are pointless.
RAM I found 8GB quad channel is more than enough. I do not do renderings etc. Just playing games, compiling software on VS and Eclipse, while using the MS Robotics from time to time.
So except couple of 64bit games, the rest are still 32bit, using only 3.3MB ram. And those 64bit games, never use more than 6GB RAM.
Motherboard. This is down to personal choise. I went cheap, got the MSI GD45 and do not regret it.
Awesome board, saved me a lot of money, and has good overclocks.
With the money saved above, you can buy 2 GTX780s 6Gb if not 2 Titan Blacks.
Nah, that would be pointless for me as the one screen has so much real estate, you don't need a second and I do a fair chunk of work at home as well.
