I wonder if a 60Hz refresh and 5ms responde time monitor is good enough for gaming, and if there's a big difference between 60Hz and 120Hz...

I also wonder... What does VSync do?

Also, is 22" enough size for the screen?

1)Yes
2)VSync matches your graphics cards to you monitors refresh rate, and steps them down in sets of 6 if your card cant handle the next highest level. It keeps frame time variance near identical.

Instead of Vsync I would enable adaptive vsync if you have an Nvidia card. Vsync will lower your frames though and I would keep it off because if it is capped at 60 and it goes lower than 60fps it will throttle it down to 30fps and if it goes under that it will go to 15fps.

AMD also has something like this. Simply download Radeonpro from AMD, and with it you can enable dynamic vsync for the games you choose to use it on. Another thing the program offers is SMAA, which is a great replacement for other types of anti aliasing in my opinion, since it affects performance quite a bit less. I recommend downloading it for either or both of these features.
