If you have an nvidia GPU I think G-sync is worth considering. If you have AMD GPU, get the free sync one. The gaming experience I find is helped by it, but the downside on nvidia side is you have to pay more for it...

What GPU do you have? If you have an AMD GPU, go for FreeSync, if you have an Nvidia GPU, FreeSync wouldn't work with your GPU (the monitor would still work as a regular monitor though), you'd need GSync for adaptive refresh rates. 

 

I personally think GSync is worth the price if you've got an Nvidia GPU, it makes a massive difference. Whether it will benefit you really depends on what games you play though. If you only play CS:GO, or other games that are constantly running at an FPS that's above the monitor's max refresh rate, then adaptive refresh rate won't do anything, so you'd want to go for the FreeSync monitor regardless.

I have the 1080 TI yes nvidia so g sync is worth the 300$ extra i guess

It's a good panel, yes. Though at $899, you're closing in on Acer X34 type monitors at 3440x1440 100Hz GSync.

Honestly i dont know i feel like too much money to spend on a monitor like geez.  Like i have seen some g sync monitors 27 inch 1920x1080 for 500$ from asus but like i want  something to have some eye candy view when i play on it a beautiful view. I dont know if g sync is for me or not

Personally I think GSync is overpriced and not needed in most cases but like Shinobu said it depends on what games you play.  

 

from what Charbel1011 at his price range he either neither give up, GSync,or 1440P, or an IPS panel or a combination of these.  Personally giving up the $300 premium or so for GSync is an easy call for me since a 100Hz+ monitor w/ a decent response time will be fine for gaming especially with his graphics card
