I'm going to pick out a monitor and I just wanted to know which would be better for games like csgo, Overwatch, Rainbowsix siege, and Destiny. There's the Alienware (AW2518Hf) 24.5 which is 240hz with a 1ms response time and is full HD with FreeSync VS. the Acer XZ350CU which is an UltraWide with 4ms response time, 2560 x 1080, 35inch's, and 144hz. I use an RX 580 8gb

 

 

BUT...

 

I'm also considering using an Acer KG271 (144hz, 4ms RPT, FHD,) with a SCEPTRE 27-inch 4k monitor

Depends on what you want. Lightning-fast refresh rates and freesync are better for FPS games. Ultrawide is better for more cinematic games. For CSGO, R6, and OW, I'd recommend the AW2518Hf.

it's time

2560x1080 at 29 inches was awful, 35 inches is even worse. Not recommended.

Pixels are too visible.
