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.

I also have a 980 4gb on hand but I dont know if i can push out over 144hz in games like rainbow six

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

Pixels are too visible.
