so i think its time to get a proper monitor. with my gtx 970 games should run pretty well at 1440p. the one iv been looking at is Asus 25" PB258Q IPS, i can get a good discount from that one so its tempting. but the response time is 5ms, can i game on that?

yes

though a 970 might have hard time pushing some games at 1440p

-sigh- feeling like I'm being too negative lately

970 isnt able to push 1440p at decent settings. i have a 290 (a little faster than 970) and its struggling at 2560*1080!

yeah that's a good monitor, and you can game at 5ms response time easily, even 16ms response time is fine. My gtx 970 is able to run 1440p just fine, although I need to reduce graphical settings to medium-high.

hello!

is it me you're looking for?

Laptop:

-Overkill Dell XPS

Fully maxed out early 2017 Dell XPS 15, GTX 1050 4GB, 7700HQ, 1TB nvme SSD, 32GB RAM, 4k display. 97Whr battery :x 
Dell was having a $600 off sale for the fully specced out model, so I decided to get it :P

 

-Crapbook

Fully specced out early 2013 Macbook "pro" with gt 650m and constant 105c temperature on the CPU (GPU is 80-90C) when doing anything intensive...

A 2013 laptop with a regular sized battery still has better battery life than a 2017 laptop with a massive battery! I think this is a testament to apple's ability at making laptops, or maybe how little CPU technology has improved even 4+ years later (at least, until the recent introduction of 15W 4 core CPUs). Anyway, I'm never going to get a 35W CPU laptop again unless battery technology becomes ~5x better than as it is in 2018.

Apple knows how to make proper consumer-grade laptops (they don't know how to make pro laptops though). I guess this mostly software power efficiency related, but getting a mac makes perfect sense if you want a portable/powerful laptop that can do anything you want it to with great battery life.
