So, I am upgrading my monitor and gpu soon. Firstly, I want to get a 980ti but the monitor I can afford makes that less easy to commit to. 

I want an ultrawide but the only one I found around 500 with a better than 60hz refresh rate is the lg34um67:

So it has freesync, which I know nvidia won't support. I'm thinking I could get 390s in crossfire? Not as ideal as the 980ti, but at least I could utilize the freesync. 

 

Is freesync worth it, is there another ultrawide with gsync that isn't more than 550 usd? I guess my only other option would be to get a decent 16:9 monitor with gsync and a 980ti, but I was pretty excited about the ultrawide...

Thanks in advance for the advice guys!

Dont choose your GPU after the display!!! Pick the GPU you want and then the display for that GPU!

Bruh I just can't afford or justify that much on a monitor. I want to keep my monitor setup cost around 550 lol, but thanks for the input! Maybe there will be a cheaper solution to nvidia sync soon, otherwise I will probably go for amd.
