You mean dual.

 

Take your pick. You can better multitask on two monitors.

I'd personally go with 2 27" not 32, that sounds like it would be a huge "Payne" in the ass to look around the screen, while moving your head, it will be just uncomfortable.

 

so in your case, 1 ultra wide should do it

if you use them alot for productivity aswell the 2 monitors should give you more effective space. also you have to take into account the PC-power you need to drive those monitors. playing on 34" 1440p you need a beast of a PC. 1 1440p your pc has to be really good aswell but its more managable. 1 34" obviously looks more neat and more boss. could also get 1 ultra wide and a cheaper monitor to put it above that for some extra space.

I have the 34" Dell, as well as two 16:10 ratio 27" Dells. For productivity I prefer the dual 27s, but it depends on the application which monitor is better suited. For me, the 27s win out most of the time, especially for CAD design work and writing/editing/viewing documents. The ultrawide is really 1.5 monitors wide, so you can have 3 documents side by side instead of two, which can be nice. I mostly use it for media consumption/gaming and Excel spreadsheets where width is a huge bonus, for most everything else I prefer the height of the 16:10 ratio (and the lower pixel density on my old monitors-- means less scaling for someone with crap eyes like me). Again, it depends on your workflow which is the better option.

 

For gaming, you really don't need a beast mode computer to run the 34" 1440p ultrawide. My computer is an i7-950 from 2010 paired with an R9 290, neither of which is overclocked, and I can play games to my heart's content at high settings for the most part. You may have to turn down some detail sliders in the newest AAA games, but that's a whole lot cheaper than building a computer!
