Is it true that 120hz monitors have better quality and are faster? I thought hz was only how much fps it could display? And are 60hz screens okay then?

More about : 60hz 120hz

It's true about higher FPS but 120/144Hz monitors have terrible colors and viewing angles (160/170 TN vs 178/178 on IPS) than IPS monitors.
Also quality is much better on professional grade IPS monitors which cost about 1000~2000$.
60Hz screen is perfectly fine, I have good IPS monitor with 5ms response time and it's really good for gaming :) 

Edit: If you want to get good quality monitor with good colors, viewing angles and low response time (up to 6ms) look at Asus's IPS monitors "PA", "PB", "MX", "VS" and some "VG" series monitors :)

If you have the eyes of a fighter pilot, go 120Hz. Most people won't notice, but you might. High end GPUs are plentiful and strong enough to hold 120FPS, the problem is finding a CPU that can keep up 120FPS ~

"IPS" stands for "In-Plane Switching" here is detailed explanation :)  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IPS_panel
And viewing angles when you look to your monitor from different sides https://www.asus.com/websites/global/products/fXfiky6lJ...
IPS monitor will not change its color while TN will hugely change its colors.

So when looking at a different angle you can see a different kind of color etc?

Yes, image color on TN monitors will be darker if you look from bottom and brighter if you look from top.
