I would go for IPS

also there isnt much point in getting a soundcard

and you DO NOT need half of that PSU

I personally would go with the X34. I game at 1440 (non-IPS) already, but I think the extra screen real estate would be nice. Having it be IPS and overclocked to 100Hz is icing on the cake.

 

Couple things regarding your PC build. Why the big power supply? I would save a few bucks and bring it down to and 850w or max 1000w. No need for 1600w with that setup. I would suggest going with a 980ti instead of going SLI. Personally, I would go with a Hybrid 980ti.  Also, I'm not really sure what the extra Crucial SSD would be used for. You'll have plenty of space and speed with the Intel 750 and 1TB SSD.

 

I agree with thekeemo, you don't need a soundcard.

 

That's just my two cents. Good luck with your build.

X34 > Z35

I really love my X34. I used to have a multi 1080p@60 IPS setup. The higher resolution, higher refresh and G-Sync is wonderful.
