To go with a possible GTX 1060, should I get a 1080p 120-144hz monitor? or should i instead go for a 2K monitor, but at 60Hz?

I also want to ask if curved monitors are any good or better than flat ones for gaming?

The answer to all your questions is preference. You have to use the different types/combinations in order to find out what you prefer to use the most.

Curved monitors are alright, I've used it and I honestly think curved is the way to go for big ultrawides, and by that I mean if your monitor is really close to you, you would benefit from a curved monitor. After just a short while you won't notice it's there and I really liked that. I'm personally going to buy the LG UM68-P,

$299.00
Flat
29"
21:9
2560*1080
75 Hz
IPS
FreeSync (48 Hz to 75 Hz)

I use an AMD XFX R9 380, and for me that's a great match I think...

All the best!
