Will this be a solid purchase?

[Lukiose]

Hello, i'm currently in the midst of closing a deal to purchase a LG 34UC97 for 900sgd (668usd)

 

It has been purchased a year ago and thus is out of warranty, but it should be in mint condition and can be inspected by me before collection.

 

Should i go ahead with this deal or grab a brand new Acer Predator XB270HU for 850sgd (631usd) instead?

 

LG: 34" 21:9 1440p Curved Ultrawide, IPS, 60Hz

Acer: 27", 1440p, IPS, G-Sync, 144hz

 

I'm currently leaning towards the ultrawide but i want to survey some opinions

 

Edit: Planning to wait until GPU prices are proper @379 and grab an EVGA 1070. I also currently use a 1080p, 60hz TN panel so both would be a major upgrade.

G-Sync is a mystery to me, but i don't really like the idea that it locks me to using only Nvidia GPUs? Especially with Vega 14nm vs Pascal 16nm around the corner

I'd go for the new Acer model

if you have nvidia card then go with the g sync monitor

Buying the 144hz without a proper GPU that will be able to run the games at 1440P 144hz is a waste. However if you do upgrade your GPU (Not sure what you have now) I'd go for the 144hz, especially if you play FPS games.

I like games of all sorts, i play osu! , i'm a global elite in CSGO, used to play DotA competitively and i love Sims 3[Yes, judge me :P]

At the same time i also love RPGs like Witcher 2 and 3 and even more casual games like HELLDIVERS*tm.

 

I watch anime regularly and i spend 70% of my time browsing through the shit known as the internet.

 

I have never experienced 120/144hz before so i don't really have a point of comparison to know how it's like. Likewise with G/Freesync
