Which of those monitors shall i choose?

I'm planing a PC and peripherals upgrade in December.

One of the things that I will change will be my monitor, because right now I'm using a FullHD TV and wireless Microsoft keyboard and mouse, so I use it while laying in my bed.

Up to yesterday I wanted to buy an LG 25UM65, because it fits perfectly on my desk (I made a model of it to chceck) and I wanted to see that 21:9 immersivnes in games.

But I looked just one more time at the benchmarks of the card that I'm planning to buy (R9 280X) and I saw that it runs WQHD perfectly and then I chcecked the 4K benches and I saw that it can run games in 4K on medium settings at playable framerates. I'm so confused right now about he monitor that I'm going to buy.
I chcecked out some revews and pricings, and I can't decide between those:
 - LG 25UM65 (I'm still considering this as an option),

 - AOC U2868PQU (it's the least expensive 4K monitor and has pretty good opinions),

 - ASUS PB278Q (it's 1440p and about 30$ more expensive than the AOC, but it has an IPS panel),

 - LG 27EA83R (again, 1440p and IPS panel).

The other 4K monitors, like an SAMSUNG U28D590D or ASUS PB287Q because they are a bit too expensive. I'm overbudget even with one of those, so I don't want to go further.
Which one is the best in your opinion?
On which settings in games you think I will be able to run in 4K at playable framerates on R9 280X Crossfire?

Thanks for answers from advice.

I would go with the PB278Q. Asus might have shit customer support but their monitors are a thing of beauty. 4k is overrated IMO anyway and 1440p looks awesome on a 27" screen

This is why you should not get an FX CPU for ANY scenario other than rendering on a budget http://linustechtips.com/main/topic/286142-fx-8350-r9-290-psu-requirements/?p=3892901 http://linustechtips.com/main/topic/266481-an-issue-with-people-bashing-the-fx-cpus/?p=3620861
