£500 Monitor Budget Dilema

[myqee]

With a £500 budget limit, which of these monitor setups is better for a productivity and gaming rig:

1) A super-wide 21:9 1440p 34" monitor, or....

2) Two seperate screens about 24" to 27", one higher res (1440p / 4K?) display for productivity and the other a 1080p fast display for gaming.

The budget I have for the rest of he PC is £1,000 so maybe more suited to 1080p for reasonable fps gaming hence the second display above being 1080p. I use Photoshop & illustrator so a high res needs to be present in some way, but I also don't want the setup to get in the way of gaming.

Any sugestions on how to handle this dilema would be great! Thanks!

Thanks for the info guys

What are your thoughts on the LG 27UD88-W 4K Monitor? It looks like this might be a good monitor for both gaming and productivity. While I use photoshop/illustrator a fair bit, I don't really require a super professional colour accurate monitor for the type of work I do, so a compromise in colour accuracy for a better gaming performance is ok for me. I'm also thinking one monitor for 500 quid is better than trying to squeeze two in for the budget (I can always get a second later I guess).

Thanks again!

Thanks, it makes sense what you're both saying. I think I am just getting pulled in by the lure of having 4K! So really 1440p on one decent screen might be the sweet spot for me.
