Display "tearing" only when turning?

Whenever I scroll in game, any game, there is a distortion like a screen tear on either side of the screen. It almost looks kind of blocky but mostly like screen tearing. I came to believe that this issue was caused by my $20 PSU, Bluestar 600w, and also the OEM motherboard from IBM.
I'm not sure if the monitor is an issue.

If it bothers you, turn V-sync on.
That will lock the refresh rate of the card to the refresh rate of the monitor and you will eliminate the tearing effects.

I did turn on v-sync in games that support it but it still has the tearing effect only when moving the mouse left and right, sometimes up and down.
It seems to be either software or monitor related to me.

I have another description to add:
When you watch game play of a YouTube channel about gaming his/her video doesn't distort or have any "effects" to the display when moving the mouse to turn around. It's a smooth image no matter how fast the mouse moves.
In my case the display looks jagged when scrolling around and makes it difficult to see unless I stop scrolling. The display doesn't split horizontally 100% across the screen it's only in little small lines and boxes.
The GPU isn't overheating but the case isn't made for gaming.

I know this is WAY later than I posted this question but I became much more tech savvy and have come to realize that I was using an under powered psu for the video card, extremely slow monitor refresh rate, case was make heat build up and the gpu started to artifact because of the heat. The screen was stuttering from all the extra frames and I didn't know how to use v-sync. Basically it was a bad build out of old computer parts and I promptly took out to the back of the shed and fed it a 12 gauge slug. Not really though but I did part it out.
