Yes, my pc can handle it, but the monitor of 1080 its a 34" ips. In the other hand, i can have a 1440 of 27" but its a tn monitor. The higher ppi is more attractive than the ultrawide view?

PPI is pixel per inch which means denser pixels per inch and thus less pixelation up close (less noticeable the further you are due to obvious reasons).

Honestly, unless you are sitting super close it isn't going to be exceptionally obvious most of the time at HD and above outside certain scenes. IPS can have far superior color representation compard to TN but can have other drawbacks (tho IPS has really improved all around in recent years in non-professional recreational use areas). I'd recommend a higher resolution IPS display if you can afford it over a 1080p display, but as said make sure your PC can handle it especially if going for 4k. You say your PC can handle it but are you sure it can? We don't know your specs but 2560x1080 isn't too bad on most modern GPUs, however 4k can be difficult for even top tier cards depending on the game (honestly 4k without g-sync/free-sync capability should be an automatic no-go for most).

Personally, I'm not a fan of ultrawide but many love it. As great as IPS displays are, there are some fantastic TN and other screen types with really nice feature and specs for affordable prices. You might be better served looking at some reviews and just choosing one because its hard to go wrong unless you are looking for something specific, but it sounds like you are just looking for an all around image quality improvement. With non-IPS displays it is easier to find 120Hz and better displays btw which may matter to some (tho the difference is absolutely overrated tho still arguably worthwhile none the less, but not even getting into that here...).
