Would need more advice on choosing the monitor...
Considering Acer Predator X34P vs Acer Predator XB321HK 32" 4K 60Hz G-Sync IPS
As mentioned, planning to use more for gaming (MMORPG and AAA games like Witcher 3 or Skyrim) and Netflix

Wanted to get 4K for the resolution but worried my GPU (GALAX RTX 2070 8GB Super) unable to support

More advice or recommendation for display will be appreciated!

Would definitely recommend you going for ultrawide, it's a different experience.

Changed to ultrawide(aw3418dw) a few months back, no regrets!

I also agree. :) Go UW and never look back. But it's up to your preference. Better to down try before making the decision.

By the time you are still pondering between both models XB321HK promo price already over. Now back to $998. :s22:

You also need to be a little more trusting to others...

That's a pretty solid list. For many of the individual components, can probably get cheaper (with vouchers) online. Bargain abit for lower price since you buying the whole bundle from pctheme.
