Did you already buy the display or something? As ultra wide displays generally aren't worth it, a 390 should do that resolution alright, it does 1440p pretty well as is

the 390 should be fine but maybe you can't Play ALL games at ultra

I disagree, the extra width would be wonderful.

 

You'd be able to watch movies in their native aspect ratio (Assuming the movie being watched was shot in ~21:9), have two applications open directly next to each other without having much of an issue with width, if you're editing a video, you've got plenty of extra room for the timeline and video previews and such.

 

I personally plan to have two 2560x1440 monitors and a 3440x1440 monitor in the middle. (Probably at least a year from happening)

Except 4k gives you more pixels, and currently free-sync for less than the cost of a 1440p 21:9 display, so you'd have more vertical pixels, you just get a bit better scaling with the 34" 21:9 display rather than the 27" free-sync display, although there's now a korean 32" 4k display for still less than the ultra wide

So i bought the monitor about a year ago, and i won't get a new one for now. 

but which cpu should i buy 

(only for 3440x1440 gaming and no video editing / streaming)

I'd go with a i5-6500 or if it fits your budget, 6600k with z170 board

So are you buying a whole new PC?

[Cython]

Yes, in the past i used my macbook pro retina.

It worked perfectly fine for productivity, but because i want to switch from console (ps4) to pc gaming im getting a new pc.

Probably something like this then, with a higher end GPU if your budget is higher.

 

Skylake would be like $30 more + extra cost for DDR4, probably not worth it
