If your goal is to play games and watch youtube or any other type of multitasking, go for the two monitor setup. With ultrawide monitor, you generally need to get a larger size since vertical height is not the same. For example, a 27" 16:9 monitor will have about the same height as a 34" ultrawide 21:9 monitor.

Then I would definitely go with the dual monitor setup. You will have more screen real estate to work with. Splitting an ultrawide in half is not ideal, you end up with 2 box shaped screens rather than two 16:9 screens. If you dont mind spending a little bit more and don't care about the curved screen, there are other options which are larger and have thinner bezels. The Samsung monitor you listed is also a VA panel, not quite the view angles of an IPS but much better than a TN panel.
