Er, what about this one?: 
 
I mean doesn't quite cover everything you mentioned in detail, but still...

don't call the guy... He's busy and has better things to do. If you want to talk to him, go to LTX one year or something. or apply for a job when they have a position open

Delete if not allowed.... But I made a LTX 2018 Vlog! It features Linus unboxing Gucci Sandals, projects they made on their channel, as well as some funny moments!

Thanks for the insights!

Don't worry i'd say, those temps are recorded under unreasonable, "benchmark exclusive" situations that you'll never face in your use cases, nor do I, so don't worry about the hardware, the thing is your time, spend it on worthy games. The card will do its job perfectly
That vault boy, presents an example of a worthy game

With your good airflow I don't think the usual experience of 80 degrees will apply to you, and even if it does you're unlikely to go over that. At 80C you won't experience any noticeable lifespan degradation but you may have slightly increased power draw and slightly louder fans (and that'd be worst case scenario).

If you're worried about temps, this card is more than good enough from a practical standpoint. The pascal architecture isn't as temperature sensitive as maxwell when it comes to overclocking, so it shouldn't hold you back there either. 
 

Ya, I was using TN Panel prior with the Asus Monitor and honestly unless you're a photographer, video editor, or an overall visual creator you don't really need an IPS. I don't see any issues regarding the colours and the brightness since I use it as my primary monitor but it is angled off to the side. Large viewing angels so there are 0 issues at all. 
 
Honestly, I was in the same boat was as you since I was thinking of getting the Asus rog Pg279q as there were a few refurb models but unsure if they were any good as apparently ordering one and getting a quality one was like the lottery.
 
I settled on this as it was a decent price, works on my budget. The weirdest thing is that the XB241YU in the pictures on the store shows a large thick bezel but when I opened it up, it was actually the "zero" bezel unit so that was a great touch and a surprise. 
 
The big thing is to just remember to turn on the high refresh rate regardless of what brand you use when you get it, I was a dummy and thought G-Sync would take care of that as I wasn't impressed with the first hour until I realized that it defaults to 60 hz with Windows settings. 
 
If you have any other questions, don't hesitate to ask as I did a ton of research as well. 
 
Edit: Forgot to mention that IPS is great for visual creators and TN is perfectly fine for gaming. 

I actually just picked up the Acer Predator XB241YU today and wow it really feels like there's a difference as I was using a 60hz regular LCD display.

That's basically it since if she plans to build a higher end system that should be more than enough.

I use one of these. They have an ESD safe version if you're paranoid about that.

What I use at home is called a "Pancake Compressor" with a "Air Duster Nozzle" you should be able to find a decent priced one on your amazon in Canada.
