I'm a fan of Gnome. It gets hate in some groups, but 3.14 is amazing. Also an Arch fan due to the wonderful AUR, but IMO distro doesn't really matter as long as you can get your patches/packages.
I had a really good experience running the open source AMD drivers (xf86-video-ati on Arch) with my 6950. I recently upgraded to a GTX 970 and switched to the proprietary nvidia drivers (better game performance). Generally the open source drivers work best for software support (ie. gdm, gnome...

There are so many caveats here. Depending on his desktop environment, etc. running the proprietary driver may break things. IE. gdm (part of gnome) breaks on my config using catalyst unless I manually roll back to an outdated version of xorg. There is a ton on the Arch wiki and forums about it...
I'm replaying this for the alternate acts right now. Act 2 is supposedly entirely different depending on your choice at the end of Act 1. It will also be a nice update on the story before The Witcher 3 is released. Really enjoyed this game the first time, and have enjoyed my replay so far (just...
