Hi guys, seems like the discussion is going abit off here haha...  

Let me clarify here:

1. My main purpose of upgrading to an UW is for my productivity, not gaming.

2. I wish to have better experience on the side of productivity(Video editing, reading) and I don't really care of the game resolutions that my GTX1060 can handle since I'm not a hardcore gamer. The games I play are graphics less intensive such as Dota 2 and CS:GO(I can play them with 1080p res, no prob at all). That's all.

 

With that said, will the 1440p version outweigh the 1080p version? Is it worth to spend around 200USD more to get 1440p version?

In this case you should go for 1440p as the bigger workspace will benefits you a lot IMO.

That means if I feel that 1080p on a 27'' is sharp enough, basically this also applies to 34'' UW? 

Exactly.

Even though the games you play are less intensive, they are still competitive games, where having 144Hz refresh rate can give you an edge. From there it depends how much you care for said edge. If you don't care too much and the main purpose is productivity, then get a 1440p 60hz monitor. The extra screen real estate will be priceless.
