Thanks! Any technical reasons to go curved or flat? Or just personal preference?

So, my catleap Q270 gave up the ghost today... and doesn't look like it's an easy fix like a bad cap. Looks like it'd be $100 to get a sketchy replacement board that might or might not work... So new monitor time! I've started researching a new display to replace it and am having a hard time...

So, sounds like it's an unchallenged EVGA at the top of the support heap, and Asus is at the bottom. I'm inferring that gigabyte, MSI, etc, are all about the same and unremarkable one way or the other. Appreciate the feedback, now to decide how much of a premium I want to pay in case something...

Huh, wouldn't have thought that Asus was at the bottom of the heap. Definitely good to know!

I'm looking to get a new 1070, and while most of my past cards have been EVGA and while I've been real pleased with them, they're significantly pricier than some of their competitors this time round. So I'm trying to get a feel for how others stack up... i.e., are some manufacturers (like...

He really is a casual gamer, most of what he plays isn't horribly demanding. MMOs, RTS, sometimes stuff like oblivion. Usually not high-end FPS. Something in the 760 range would probably be more than enough. He's been trying his damndest to blow his budget, ($400 mboard, GTX 780, high-end...

He doesn't have a specific game he's aiming at. His only requirements on case are quiet and easily transportable (and decent airflow of course). Doesn't care what it looks like. He'll need speakers as well, but as he's been using laptop speakers for the last 4-5 years anything will be a step...

Friend's looking to do a build; I'm trying to help keep him from overspending (he tends to way overspec...) but haven't kept up with stuff. He does have a few non-std requirements. He wants it to be quiet... and he wants it (and the monitor) to be semi-portable so he can haul it to a friend's...
