Assymetric Dual Monitors

Anyone using an ultrawide and a non-ultrawide (perhaps 4k) setup?

An example would be something like this:

I would be using my rig for both gaming and work. For work which could be programming, research and writing or whatnot. For work, I would like to use an ultrawide as the primary to hold the IDE windows and possible an emulator (if it's Android development) and the non-ultrawide could hold either a video I'm mostly listening to (and I only need to glance at it briefly from time to time) or some other windows that I need open but don't have to focus on as much as the IDE.

As for gaming, I've seen some interesting "immersive" setups with 2 or more non-ultrawide monitors (not sure if they were 4k) but I'm not really interested in using multiple monitors for games. I'll switch between the 4k and the ultrawide depending on which experience I like more an if the game supports making use of the wider aspect ratio for a wider FOV instead of just stretching the scene on the wider screen.

Powering this would be a GeForce 1070 or 1080.

What are folks thoughts on this? If you have a setup like this already, what do like/hate about it?
