Is that your picture? Because that 1060 almost looks like a mini card the way it ends right after the PCI slot. Looks more like their 1050 Low Profile card.
Not my pic. From reddit. You might be right about the model.

FYI... This monitor has gotten really good reviews from multiple sources. Both GSync and FreeSync compatible. 165Hz capable with DisplayPort connection. Supposed to be a real steal for the price point:

Not a fan of that resolution. Much prefer 3440x1440. If you are gonna go "wide screen" then... go WIDE SCREEN.

Not sure how you can say you're not a fan of that resolution... Your monitor is a ****ing beauty for sure. But....

3440x1440 results in a 21:9 native aspect ratio that can currently be a real mess for lots of media. Older games don't handle it well. Lots of times, the format just gets stretched, and it looks really weird. Or worse, just cut off. Newer games are OK, and future games should be OK though. But still, many require adjustments to the FOV to make the games look right because it's not a native aspect ratio the game was meant to run at. Same thing goes for older movies, and most TV. They just weren't made for showing in 21:9 format. None of the current streaming platforms work natively in 21:9 aspect ratio except Netflix using the Edge browser or a 3rd party browser extension for Chrome/Firefox. Nothing worse than have a huge beautiful monitor, just for the media to put black bars on the last 6" of both ends of the screen.

That said, for games/movies made to handle that format, it's pretty ****ing incredible. Very immersive and gorgeous. But that doesn't cover enough available media at the moment, IMO. I considered 3440x1440, but after reading lots of reviews and recommendations, I'm pretty happy I went with 2560x1440. That still maintains the much more popular 16:9 aspect ratio that all existing media/games use. No need for adjusting FOV for different games, and basically all other media displays in native aspect ratio.

Yup, that's why I went with a 27 inch Monitor at that resolution.
