Hello Gentlemen,

Just new "dilemma" I'm running into. My new parts for my 1st gaming rig is coming in soon and I'll be using my 60Hz 1080p TV monitor.

I'm planning on gaming at ultra ( BF4, CRYSIS3, COD GHOSTS, Next gen titles) with my EVGA GTX780 ACX,SC (amazing price drop)and I'm curious if my monitor will suffice. I'm coming from console so I'm expecting a big difference between 30 and 60 fps only I'm worried I'm being limited by my monitor. I don't have any money to spend on a new one what-so-ever. I heard something about overclocking monitors with high end Nvidia cards but I'm clueless tbh.

Any thoughts?

Yea 780 is pretty much a 1440p and above card, at that res its power is wasted, but it does mean you'll be able to max everything very comfortably.

Coming from console gaming I think you will love going to 60Hz at 1080p. The problem will be once you see another monitor that has 1440p, it will ruin 1080p for you.

Some of the 1440p monitors can be overclocked to 120hz, and some 1080p monitors are 120Hz out of the box. With a 780 you should be able to attain > 60 FPS in most games and so you would eventually benefit from moving up, both in terms of resolution and display refresh rates.

My recomendation? Start saving up for a 350$ 1440p monitor that can be OC'd to 120hz.

It's not your monitor so much as its your CPU as a potential source of bottlenecking. So assuming you are building with a modern Intel CPU, you will be fine, and exceeding 60 FPS is a good situation to be in. But since you mentioned Crysis 3, then that game will take every last bit of GPU you can throw at it. And yes you can overclock your monitor, but there are very few reviews to say what improvements are possible.

So should I be playing with V-sync turned on? I'm not sure how much input lag would affect games considering I'm an fps guy. What do you think?

My CPU is an i5-4670k so I can't imagine it bottlenecking. No way I was expecting +60fps for that,just thought I'd throw it in there :)

Determining your game settings is a process of trial and error and fine-tuning to suit your needs. Prefer, at first, VSync OFF to minimize input lag. If you are getting unbearable screen tearing due to high FPS, then turn up your AA settings as that places the biggest load onto your GPU. You will eventually find a balance between Ultra Everything settings and FPS rates that hover near 60, or ideally around 70-80 FPS, as often as possible.
