Monitor real-estate conundrum

Hopefully you guys can help influence my decision:

I'll soon be in the market for a new monitor. I currently have a Dell u2312hm and due to work commitments I'll need a display array that will offer me greater screen real-estate than I currently have, even greater than a single 2560x1440 panel if I'm honest. It will be for mild video editing and running multiple VMs persistently.

It will be mostly for work but I do game on RPGs, FPS (not online) and occasional RTS. I have a 780ti that I don't wish to trade/upgrade.

I don't wish to spend more than a net outlay of £350 so I have a few options:

1) Sell u2312hm (doubt I'll get more than 50/60 quid tbh), buy a single 21:9. I'd prefer a B grade 3440x1440 panel (I've seen AOC's recently listed on clearance for £359).

2) Keep u2312hm, run in portrait. Buy single 27" 2560x1440. I think G-Sync is out of the question for the time being with my budget.

3) Keep u2312hm, buy 2x 1080p monitors and game in nVidia Surround

I'm leaning towards option 1 but wanted other forum members with similar requirements to state their opinions. Cheers
