I am planning on getting an ultrawide monitor for my next build. It will probably be an LG, and it will likely be 60-70Hz, and 1440p. What components should I have to get to have 60 FPS (preferably 80+ FPS) gaming on such a PC. I don't want to exceed $1000 for the CPU and GPU, but I don't know if that's a ridiculous claim or not.

+redgarl Ultrawide is 33% more demanding than standard 1440p. GTX 1070 is perfect for maxing out games at standard 1440p at 60 FPS. For maxing out games at ultrawide 1440p at more than 60 FPS, he needs GTX 1080/ RX 480 CrossFire.
