I have 2 choices, either go with 2x 1080p monitors side by side, or 1 21:9 monitor. 
 
Requirements for my monitors:
Thin bezels and 60hz or above. Maybe wall mountable?
 
What do I do:
-Gaming
-Work
-Some Graphics

CPU: Intel Core i5-4690K 3.5GHz Quad-Core Processor 
CPU Cooler: NZXT Kraken X61 106.1 CFM Liquid CPU Cooler
Motherboard: MSI Z97-GAMING 5 ATX LGA1150 Motherboard  
Memory: Kingston HyperX Fury Red 8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR3-1866 Memory

Assuming with the given budget, the 21:9 monitor is going to be 2560x1080.

 

So I would rather suggest you get this monitor: http://www.amazon.com/Acer-G257HU-smidpx-25-Inch-Widescreen/dp/B00QS0AKVK/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1436337551&sr=8-1&keywords=acer+1440p

 

It's a 1440P panel that is 279.99USD

Do you do any of these or something else simultaneously?

Like so much that it's not fast enough to use a workspace switcher like ubuntu, mac, and windows 10 have?

Thanks, this looks pretty good. I'll go for this one. Quick question, can this monitor be wall mounted?

I mostly do work and web browsing at the same time, because of school work.
