Need help choosing monitor

Hello everyone. I am currently in the process of choosing a monitor for my new build, but I am stuck between a few different choices. I really want an ultrawide monitor, but most of the ones I looked at were extremely expensive or had bad specs. Here are the 4 monitors I have narrowed it down to. My budget is around 300$ (give or take 50) Here are my current options.

Ultrawide Monitor, okay specs. 

Extremely well-rounded monitor.

Cheaper one

Other pretty good one

I am located in the US. Here is my current build: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/XRjMyf

I see a 480 in your parts list... which is what I was about to recommend you switch to.  Especially after the RELIVE update, the 480 is pretty kick ass.

 

This way, you can also utilize FreeSync on those monitors.

Currently focusing on my video game collection.

It doesn't matter what you play games on, just play good games you enjoy.

Which one of the monitors with FreeSync would you recommend? The ultrawide one, or the 200$ one.

Hmm, I do dual monitors, and from what I've heard, ultrawides eliminate the need for dual monitors... so the ultrawide.

Are you sure? The ultrawide has a refresh rate of 75 hz vs the 144hz on the other one, and it has a 5ms response time vs the 1ms on the other one
