I'm sitting here deliberating on which way to go monitor wise.

Completely new build with the main gubbings being:

1080 TI Asus Strix
Asus Strix Z270E Mobo

and the finger on the trigger for an i7 7700K coupled with either

an ASUS ROG Swift 34" Ultrawide PG348Q monitor or a 4K monitor such as Acer Predator XB321HK 32"

I've never had an ultrawide before and really fancy it, but having the 1080 TI seems a shame to miss out on 4K

What do you guys advise?

Cheers

I've had both of these and have to say both are excellent (I currently settled on the Asus, as per sig). The Asus only won out as the 100Hz is fantastic for games and gives it real buttery-smoothness :)

Also, if you haven't got the motherboard yet then go for a Z370 one and an i5-8600K. They're both similar prices and the same performance for gaming but with the Z370 you'll have a future upgrade path (to the 8700k). Np if not though, I'm well happy with my 7700k@5Ghz :cool:
 
Cheers mate. I'm really stuck on what to do.

Yes already got the Mobo, so looks like i've dropped the ball on that one. Either way will still be a beefy machine for a couple of years.
