Frames per second and hertz (refreshing rate) are not equal to each other.You can even go to 80~100 fps regardless the refreshing rate being 60hz or 120hz.
You are both right. His system will happily run at over 60fps but a 60Hz can only present him with 60 pictures a second so there would be no visible difference

Generally speaking, at 1920x1080 your 280X isn't going to go above 60fps on that many titles (assuming you are playing them at High/Ultra settings) so personally I wouldn't bother forking out the extra money on a 120Hz monitor when you will really likely see very little benefit from it, especially in the future as your card ages and games become more graphically demanding.
Now, if you were to decide to CrossFire your GPU and run two 280Xs you would definitely get well over 60fps on current titles and may notice the benefit of the 120Hz monitor

Think of it like this:
Your GPU can render 100 picture frames per second. Your monitor can show you 60 of those 100 frames per second. You will see what the monitor shows you, which is 60 frames per second (which is also called hertz).
Though having more FPS is nice, usually you don't need more than your monitor's refresh rate. One point however is to make sure your GPU is powerful enough to show you those frames without stuttering, lagging, or having fps drops below your refresh rate. AKA if you go into a gaming spot that has a ton of stuff on the screen and you see the lag, it's probably from your GPU going down to a lower FPS than the monitor, which is why it won't match up in timings and will appear to lag or stutter.

warthunder? All i need is 60Fps for that...i can smash that. So either will it will be capped up to 60 which is fine. But BF4 i know i wont go over 60 AT ALL TIMES but im sure i will at one point...i just dont want to be limited you know?

That is what I am saying. I have a GTX 770 which is (roughly) comparable to the 280X and HD7970 and yes, you'll see 70/80fps in most games for a while, but not long enough to warrant a 120Hz monitor in my opinion.
On Battlefield 4 at 1080p Ultra your card will be looking at 55/60fps max

You will feel and see tearing at anything above 60fps on a 60Hz monitor. Lock the fps at 60 and it will be smooth and tear free.
On a 120Hz monitor, anything over 60fps but under 120fps will show tiny amounts of stutter as some frames are drawn twice. Again, above 120fps will result in tearing unless you engage v-sync.
One point of note for those that can't muster a solid 60fps; the next step down for smooth stutter-free motion is 30fps (this is why consoles tend to try and lock to 30 or 60). However, with a 120Hz monitor, it also opens up 40fps as a smooth stutter-free option. Likewise, stutter-free 72fps and 48fps are available on a 144Hz monitor. It's all about matching frames rendered to frames displayed, if you want the smoothest output.
