Your pic isn't showing up for some reason. But I'm guessing you don't have a computer desk. Without one, I can see your problem. You gotta sit close to the monitors. I love my 3 1440ps. I could never go back to 1080p. I even like 1440p better than 3 monitors at 1080p each (3 1440p monitors is best, but the gpus still aren't up to 6k just yet in the demanding games. Plus, the nvidia titan x surround bug)

I don't. It's just a TV stand. I would have to seteup my room all over to have PC desktop format and I don't feel likee doing that.

You could get a 40-43" 4k tv for under $1000. I just got a 55" top of the line sony 4K tv for $1598. I still play on my 1440ps though when I'm on my pc. But console gaming on a 4K tv with the upscaling is amazing. It almost looks like 4k with just a 1080p output

Well I'm playing on a 1080P TV(39"). My rig is a I5-4690K stock speeds, 8GB DDR3 RAM and a 3GB R9 280. I couldn't see me going from a big ass 39"TV to a small ass 29inch UHD monitor. It looks way too small. I'm sure the resolution and aspect ratio being 21:9 would be really immersive, it'd probably make my console games look stupid.

Oh ok. I feel u.

I see a GTX 970 for $297 open box.... EVGA
I also see a R9 290X for the same price open box.

@daze23 @Ciggavelli @spliz @2gunsup
Which one?
Think it's worth buying at that price? I have a 3GB R9 280 so would it make a justfiable difference? Minimal upgrade??

I found out about it here...

I'd spend $10 more on that open box MSI 970. Them things overclock like crazy. Justifiable? Depends on what you're tying to play.
