Well I finally sold my R9 390 a couple weeks ago for $200. And I’m temporarily gaming on my gtx 1060 6gb laptop so I’m not down a PC What you guys opinion on getting a 1070 for $399 Black Friday. Or wait until hopefully next gen Volta equivalent (2070/1170?). I know the rumors were end of this...

The Samsung curved monitor is VESA compatible. The round plate on the back that the arm mounts to can be removed and a supplied VESA adapter can be placed there

+1 that you should have more fans on intake than exhaust exhaust. Reason being is that you want positive air pressure inside your case to prevent air being sucked in from an unfiltered crack in the case. ideally, unless you have a radiator at the top or the back that needs a fan directly on it...

depends on if you play competitive FPS or not. IMO 144hz on an FPS is a life changer. RPG games that don't need such a high refresh rate I would vote for 1440p though and maybe 27inch instead. racing games are a toss up as 144hz would really be noticeable at high speed racing but 1440p would...
