And also I'm in zero rush to buy, I was thinking a year or so before I buy, I do realize tech changes fast. I'm willing to save and spend a little more if needed too. I'd also like to use vr and I would like a awesome ultra wide monitor vs. 2 monitors, I just can't really get used to double monitors. Ultimately it's primary use would be gaming.

You're at a pretty good time to build if you decide to, prices are actively falling right now.
The new HDR 200hz ultrawides will be hitting stores sometime in the next month or so, so I assume we may see some price drops on the current ultrawides dropping.
GPU's are finally back at msrp for the most part as well. The real question is AMD Ryzen Build or Intel. The cost to performance goes to the Ryzen right now, but it still lags behind the single core performance that Intel offers with an 8700k, which is needed for higher resolution high refresh rate gaming.
