I use this with a GTX 1060 6GB, and I am very happy with it. A GTX 1080 would make it even better for that butter smooth gameplay with 144hz. It is also an IPS panel which is great.
144hz is a huge step up. If you don't have the money, then this is fine. But if you can drop the cash for a 144hz monitor, then I'd definitely go for it. It might even be worth it to check out a 1440p 100hz ultrawide.
Monitors to look at:
1080p 144hz TN
Ultrawide 1080p 144hz IPS
1440p 144hz TN(you might not be able to hit 144hz with all games on this one due to the resolution being so high)
EDIT: TN, not IPS
Here
thats my monitor
You're right 144hz IPS is a complete impossibility.
> I would even go back to 1080p but there are no 1080p 144hz IPS panels.
LG 34UC79G-B - 2560x1080, 144hz, IPS, Freesync
Samsung CFG70 - 1920x1080, 1800R Curvature, 144hz
This Samsung panel is VA, but they claim "Applying Samsung’s advanced motion blur reduction technology to its superior VA panel, Samsung has succeeded in creating the industry’s first curved monitor with a super-fast response time of 1ms (MPRT) that lets you enjoy unprecedented gaming performance without motion blur across the entire screen." so take that as you will.

Worth every penny.
It wasn't that hard to get them close enough for me, but someone more picky might go insane trying to get it perfect. I spent my insane points on getting it to line up perfectly instead lol.
Had I planned it out, I probably would have just done 3, 34 inch screens, but in the immortal words of Bob Ross, it was a happy accident.

I personally think that UW is good for serious gaming, as it is an advantage if 21:9 is supported, and if 21:9 is unsupported it isn't a disadvantage.
To answer your question that monitor will suffice (and curved is GOOD) but I'd highly recommend any of these monitors.

I recently got this monitor and it's great. it's 2560x1080 but you're already on 1080p so you won't notice a difference, and your 1070 will power it beautifully. 144hz, and ips as well.

You're in luck! There are several 34-35" 1080p 144hz ultrawides out there!
Examples:
LG 34UC79G-B 34-Inch 21:9 Curved UltraWide IPS Gaming Monitor with 144Hz Refresh Rate
Acer Predator Z35 35-inch Curved Full HD (2560 x 1080) NVIDIA G-Sync Display, 144Hz, 2x9w speakers, HDMI & DP
Edit 1: These are curved, will see if i can find flat panels
Edit 2: They all seem to be curved, but honestly I love a curved ultrawide. I own both a flat ultrawide and a curved ultrawide, and the curve is a must have. It's so wide that the flat panel looks distorted at the edges. The curve eliminates that distortion.
after shopping around, I'm torn between these two

Speak for yourself. This is one of the best computer screens I've ever used and the curve on it makes it easier to use. (I've used both the flat and curved models)
Yep. its broken. Get [this one] (https://www.amazon.com/LG-Electronics-Ultrawide-34UC79G-B-LED-lit/dp/B01LW5CGIS) if you are getting a new one.
This is the monitor I personally use and LOVE it! They have a g-sync version as well but its a bit more expensive.

I strongly recommend this monitor:

It's a 144hz ultrawide and if you look around you can sometimes find them for cheap
Lowest I have seen it is $499. It was on sale on ebay a couple of weeks ago for 499 when I bought it. And on Prime day it was 499 on Amazon. Now it's back up to 549.
If you are going to drop the money for freesync or 144hz, consider bumping up and getting ultrawide. There was a recent post that showed the benefits of having one for RL. This is what I got. https://www.amazon.com/LG-34UC79G-B-34-Inch-21-UltraWide/dp/B01LW5CGIS
The only concern with an Ultrawide 1080p is your pixel density/size/DPI over an Ultrawide 1440p.. also because it seems most Ultrawides come in larger screen sizes than 16:9s. A 34" 16:9 1080p monitor is going to be pretty tall and may have larger pixels than a 34" 21:9 1080p. But... if your only debate is between 16:9 1080p and 21:9 1080p, go with 21:9, especially with the 2070. If you do anything other game 100% on your computer then you'll appreciate the extra screen real estate.
I bought this 34" 144hz LG Ultrawide 1080p - and I love it. I came from a 24" Asus 1080p 60hz, so even that was a huge upgrade for me.

Not that I know of, but I haven't seen people complaining about motion blur with the IPS ones. The motion blur is mainly a VA problem I think.
Only problem is I don't think there are any current IPS ultrawides capable of 144hz even at 1080p, and the 100hz one's are pretty expensive. Have to figure out what's most important to you..Edit: NVM, there actually are some IPS that have 144hz, like this: https://www.amazon.com/LG-34UC79G-B-34-Inch-21-UltraWide/dp/B01LW5CGIS
Only difference is it's freesync instead of gsync. But if you're consistently hitting high framerates (above 100fps or maxing out), then losing g-sync probably isn't that big of a deal anyway. If you've got an AMD card then it's obviously better actually. It's also cheaper than the BenQ since it doesn't have the g-sync tax. If you want 3440x1440 though that definitely doesn't go higher than 100hz atm.
So you just have to decide whether you want 1440p and 100hz/60hz (depending on budget), or 1080p and 144hz, then decide whether you need g-sync.

Assuming price isn't an object, I'd highly recommend these two for gaming monitors:
If you have an AMD video card: https://www.amazon.com/LG-34UC79G-B-34-Inch-21-UltraWide/dp/B01LW5CGIS
If you have an NVIDIA video card: https://www.amazon.com/LG-34UC89G-B-34-Inch-21-UltraWide/dp/B0728JH3RQ
Both are 34-inch, 21:9 ratio, 2560x1080, 144Hz monitors with IPS panels. So they're large, wide, fast and gorgeous.
Trust me, once you play games on a 21:9 monitor, anything less feels like tunnel vision. 21:9 works flawlessly in PS2 and looks incredible.
Both monitors will also sync your refresh rate to your in-game framerate to minimize lag. But they are vid card brand specific. The first one will sync only with AMD vid cards, and the 2nd one will only sync w/ NVIDIA. But even without the frame sync they are extremely fast. Not quite as fast as the fastest TN panels, but VERY close.
Here's a good review of the AMD-tailored monitor so you can get a good idea of how it performs. It's what I use (I own an Nvidia card but it came out 1 year earlier than the Nvidia monitor and I couldn't wait). http://www.tftcentral.co.uk/reviews/lg_34uc79g.htm
EDIT: To answer your questions:
I've got a few ideas in mind so far, the Acer XF270U or the Acer XB271HU in mind.
The XF270U has
The XB271HU has the same specs, but with a max refresh rate of 165Hz.
There's also some "cheap-korean" monitors that come up on ebay frequently that apparently fit most of my preferences, too. LTT did a video on one such example.
From what I can tell, though, I'll have to falter on the response time...which, really, 4ms of lag is basically indistinguishable from instant for me personally. One of the games I'm super into right now will show you the amount of input lag you have at any given time when you have the FPS count visible. I've tweaked every setting I can to get that number to hover around 0ms, usually sitting at 0.1-0.5ms...but even when it used to sit at 4ms, I couldn't tell that there was a lagging in any capacity.
But uhh...I'm sure when I find whatever I want to go with, I'll post about it somewhere. I'll try to keep you informed. :P
Edit: Just found the LG 34UC79G, which ticks all the boxes, but is bigger and curved...So, there's def options out there somewhere.
After doing more and more research would this monitor be a bad choice for my current setup do you think?

LG 34" ultrawide curved 144hz
Here it is! I do not know your repitition for Amazon BTW
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01LW5CGIS/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_v-iJAbBEDTFDZ
I'm not OP, but I got the same monitor about 2-3 weeks ago. I paid $590 through a 3rd party on Amazon, but for Prime Day it was $499 directly from Amazon.
The lowest price is $590 3rd party now again. I'm not too bothered that I paid $40, I love it.
Great for games, especially FPS, love the ultrawide, the 144 hz. The only backdraw is really bad backlight leakage which bothers me because I watch a lot of movies on it. It's not an issue in any game except Resident Evil and other dark games.

This is my monitor https://www.amazon.com/d/Monitors/LG-34UC79G-B-34-Inch-21-UltraWide/B01LW5CGIS
What resolution do you plan to get that 32" in? 1080p? 1440p?
I personally have a 34" curved Ultrawide 1080p 144Hz monitor (https://www.amazon.com/d/Monitors/LG-34UC79G-B-34-Inch-21-UltraWide/B01LW5CGIS) and while I can see pixels (if I'm squinting) when I'm less than half a meter away from it, its not apparent in games and I'm usually sitting 50cm+ away from it. I have a 23.8" and a curved 27" 1440p to compare to and while both of these are crisper, I still like the huge 34" panel in games especially because of its aspect ratio.
https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B01LW5CGIS/ref=yo_ii_img?ie=UTF8&psc=1
I got this one I like it a lot. Although I just got into the pc world so I don’t know too much.
Its the LGUC79G-B.

https://www.amazon.com/d/Monitors/LG-34UC79G-B-34-Inch-21-UltraWide/B01LW5CGIS
i have changed the monitor to https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01IOO4SGK?tag=rtings-tv-cm11b-20&ie=UTF8 or maybe this lg monitor https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01LW5CGIS?tag=rtings-tv-cm11b-20&ie=UTF8
what do u think?
Sure a great option to consider is the LG 34UC79G-B 34-Inch 21:9 Curved UltraWide IPS Gaming Monitor with 144Hz Refresh Rate .The FreeSync that comes with it allows you to experience seamless, fluid movement throughout hi-res, fast-paced games. FreeSync nearly eliminates tearing and stuttering that can occur because of differences between a graphic card’s frame rate and a monitor’s refresh rate.Also it has a game mode for optimal gaming conditions. There are 3 modes, 2 First-Person-Shooter modes and a RTS pre-set mode so you can choose the best mode for your games and the IPS display would be great for photography
I don't know about this specific monitor. But I picked up a 144hz 34" 21:9 ultrawide 1080p LG Monitor for around $650 or so. Its actually on a huge sale today!!! For $550. Here you go:

Having a hard time trying to pick a monitor, I've narrowed it down though.
yeah.... large widescreen curved 144hertz monitors
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01LW5CGIS/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1
This Bad Boy... been wanting a 144hz monitor for a while, and I figured ultrawide's a really good compromise (because I'm unsure about whether I could comfortably run 4k on a gtx 1060 6gb graphics card, and I don't want to upgrade that just yet)
Bleh stupid period after the link https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01LW5CGIS
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01LW5CGIS/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1just got my second one first one was $700 but now they're $489!
It's the LG 34UC79G-B
How is this one different from yours?
For me, the refresh rate is the biggest thing. This setup doesn't do much productivity, my Mac setup does. So I'm fine with low resolution!
https://www.amazon.com/LG-34UC79G-B-34-Inch-21-UltraWide/dp/B01LW5CGIS/ref=sr_1_1?crid=1ZYKQAAZDJFAV&keywords=lg+144hz+ultrawide&qid=1555816710&s=gateway&sprefix=razer+hun%2Caps%2C271&sr=8-1
It sure does, in ultra-wide at least. For example:
https://www.amazon.com/LG-34UC79G-B-34-Inch-21-UltraWide/dp/B01LW5CGIS
It looks very nice.. but a part of me really wants a wide-screen curved monitor like this. Talk me out of it? Why shouldn't I get it? Will the pixels be stretched too much?
Yeah you can run two of them on displayport with that card. This is the only ultrawide 144hz I've ever looked at but I haven't really heard anything about it. Also keep in mind the viewsonic monitor other peeps have mentioned cause those are great too.

Hey, a little late to the party here, but the LG 34UC79-G, as already said, sounds perfect for you.
Even better, it recently dropped from $590 USD to $530 on Amazon!
It may say it's for gaming, but these look pretty affordable:

It used to be at 500, and I thought the price would have gone down by now .

Looking for a 144Hz at least 2K resolution and ultra wide screen for gaming, I think this LG fits what I am looking for : LG 34UC79G-B
Anyone knows if it's any good and worth its price ?
If that's what he wants, it does exist in several 21:9, here is one: https://www.amazon.com/LG-34UC79G-B-34-Inch-21-UltraWide/dp/B01LW5CGIS
Some curved monitors there for you. I want an Omen X very bad.
I just picked up one of these recently. While the resolution isn't great (1080p), the widescreen aspect ratio is amazing. Good value for the price.

But if you want 3440x1440, then it gets more complicated. First, the displays are more expensive, like https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01LW5CGIS/ref=psdc_1292115011_t3_B01BMES072 (but that is an ultrawide 144Hz IPs panel, which is pretty much ideal). But for that one should ideally get a GTX 1080 Ti, and that moves the build over budget:

For those unaware, this monitor is 75hz
This is the monitor he is referring to, currently almost $600 and it's only 1080 ultrawide unfortunately, but you won't find a 1440 ultrawide over 100hz yet.

I bought one of these a few months ago: LG Ultrawide
You don't get the ultrawide benefits in OW but it's nice to have the option for games that support it.

Not quite three screens worth, but would give a solid two monitors worth of screen real estate with no borders.
if you're truly sure that you don't care about 1440p, then this is the [best option] (https://www.amazon.com/LG-34UC79G-B-34-Inch-21-UltraWide/dp/B01LW5CGIS/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1494961055&sr=8-3&keywords=ultrawide+gaming+monitor), g-sync is not going to be in your budget unless you fork another couple hundred over.
There's this ultrawide, which I believe falls under your price point.
Ok good to know, thank you! The 34UC79G looks to be the best deal with freesync for a 34 curved

Thanks so much for the insight. I will go with 2560x1080.
Leaning towards this LG 34UC79G-B, but I'm going to do a bit more research before I commit.
Yes, looks great. Make sure to get this cheaper one. You’ll lose HDR but you get 144hz instead of 120 and it’s half the price.

Mhmm, what’s so weird about it? It’s the same ppi as a 27 inch 1080p.
https://www.amazon.com/LG-34UC79G-B-34-Inch-21-UltraWide/dp/B01LW5CGIS
It was the best available here at its time, now the 950F is the same thing with the better specs
What is your budget?
https://www.amazon.com/LG-34UC79G-B-34-Inch-21-UltraWide/dp/B01LW5CGIS
Just a suggestion. Note that this is a ultrawide 'FHD' @144hz.
But better go for 1 1440p@144hz and a GTX 1070. And buy later the second one.

This'n rightchea. I think my comment was a little confusing. This wasn't a 1440. A 144hz UW for 315 though, I would've been all over that.
Just got the monitor off Amazon for $256.

Have you considered the LG 34UC79G?
You don't really need 1ms.
Anything <5 ms is good enough, assuming you're not a competitive gamer (most don't use ultrawides).
Best you can get for your budget is this: https://www.amazon.com/LG-34UM69G-B-34-Inch-UltraWide-Reduction/dp/B06XFXX5JH/ref=sr_1_1?s=electronics&amp;ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1511412633&amp;sr=1-1&amp;keywords=34um69

Might have to pay a bit extra, but they do make 144hz Ultrawide monitors.
D2 looks so good in ultrawide! I use an LG 1080p 144hz.

Currently mine is about $2500. Bear in mind that i slowly upgraded this computer over the years (2013-2017). I have a 4790k @4.5Ghz, a msi gtx 1080ti, 12gb of ram, and about 3tb of hdd space.

I have a perfect condition one of these and I'm in PA but, it may be a good bit outside your budget.

I absolutely love it, it's been a wonderful upgrade.
This or the LG 2560 x 1080 144hz?
I'm using 1070 so I don't think I can push 3440 x 1440 at 75hz.
you could spend anywhere from $100 for a cheap 24" 1920 x 1080 to $950 or so for a 49" 3860 x 1080. There are a bunch https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0755KJ56W/ref=sspa_dk_detail_0?psc=1&amp;pd_rd_i=B0755KJ56W&amp;pd_rd_wg=UKv1S&amp;pd_rd_r=KT9SATDFY51XDH8AFYZ7&amp;pd_rd_w=zRkzJ of 32" for $200 at 1920 by 1080. If you want faster refresh rates 144 hz and 2560 x 1080 can be had for $500 from time to https://www.amazon.com/LG-34UC79G-B-34-Inch-21-UltraWide/dp/B01LW5CGIS/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_product_sims?ie=UTF8 time at 34".
