So I recently upgraded my graphic card to the Asus ROG GTX 1080Ti OC edition and using the i7 7700k. I want to upgrade to a dual monitor setup. There is a few ways in my mind right now but I don't know which one makes the most sense.

 

1. Get the Asus PG258Q along with the XG258Q. Those are 1080p 240hz. The PG258Q would be the main gaming monitor since it has G-sync and use the XG for check stream and such. (Reason to use the XG is because it's a bit cheaper and exact same size and model as the PG258Q)

 

2. Get the Asus PG279Q with the MG279Q. Those are 1440p 144hz. And usage would be the same as above setup.

 

3. Get the Asus PG258Q as the main gaming monitor and get the MG or PG279Q as monitor for chat and stream.

 

Also, aesthetics is a big element in term of doing my set up that's why I have those monitor choices.

 

Thank you for all the help

also the 1440p would do really well with the 1080ti
