After following this post I was able to boot successfully.
However it got stuck at reached target graphical interface.
I opened a console and ran startx which got me a gui. However it is running at a low resolution (1024x768).
If I run mhwd it seems to show I have the nvidia drivers installed.
I also ran xrandr and nvidia-smi

nvidia-smi output
NVIDIA-SMI has failed because it couldn't communicate with the NVIDIA driver. Make sure that the latest NVIDIA driver is installed and running.
Also, in KDE's display configuration, it lists only 1 of my displays with the name 'default' instead of its actual model.
Any ideas what's going on?
Thanks a lot.
Edit:
running lspci -nnk | grep -iA2 vga seems to show that the nouveau drivers are in use.

Kernel modules: nouveau
However if I run sudo pacman -Syu nvidia it says that it conflicts with nvidia-dkms which is already installed.
nvidia and nvidia-dkms are in conflict (NVIDIA-MODULE). Remove nvidia-dkms? [y/N]
How do I use the nvidia driver?
