2 screens normally means streaming ? Will she be streaming ?

I don't think she will be streaming.

Any many reason for wanting two screens ? Trend has changed to having one very good gaming screen instead of multiple screens

Just had a chat with her and decided to go for 1 good screen and if she felt like using 2 screens she could try the 1 she has now.

For the slower-paced RPG games that your sister plays, an ultra-wide monitor may be the best choice - as it makes gaming more immersive. It would also reduce the need for 2 dedicated monitors, as you can just split the screen to act as 2.

A GTX 1060 6GB will be able to run most games at ~60fps on a 2560x1080 29in ultrawide.

Never winter supports ultra wide screen ! Would look pretty sweet !
