Two u2414h's or 1 u2414h with a 120/144hz monitor?

Assuming I don't care for triple monitor/surround gaming, is it better to go with an IPS and 120hz monitor opposed to 2 IPS?

 

I'm not too big on FPS games, and I'm not sure how beneficial higher refresh rate monitors are for other genres of games.

Personally I'd go with 2 Dells...but that's because I can't stand having two different monitors in front of me.

Dual U2414H! I don't know if you noticed it, but that monitor is boss! Maybe one day even go triple... oh yeah thin bezels :)

 

If you think 120hz is worth it, maybe it's not such a crazy idea, I mostly play everything but FPSs, and when I do play them I'm pretty bad lol.

Regarding the high refresh rate impact, it's noticeable on other games; it's like everything is a a bit more smooth, movement feels nice. I've used it but I prefer the beautiful image and color.

So 120hz isn't worth it?
