Hello, I'm looking to buy the following PC:
http://www.voelkner.de/products/674983/Midi-Tower-PC-Me...

I'm not looking to build a PC myself or add any parts (atleast in the near future) and this one has 4 years of warranty and seems to be the best one I could find for my budget of around 800€ in Germany. (with 4 years warranty it's 845€)

The problem is the GPU, GTX 760 192-bit 1.5GB. I've got the following Monitor: http://www.asus.com/Monitors_Projectors/VG248QE/

It's a 24 inch 144hz monitor.

Here are the spcifications to the GPU:

Now here are my questions:

1. Is the GPU good enough for 120hz gaming?

2. Is it good enough for 3D gaming/3D Blu-Ray movies? I don't have to max out the newest games, but I would like to use at least some Anti-Aliasing.

3. I would also like to know how future proof it is to play the majority of games on medium to high (not highest) settings, at least for the 4 years the warranty lasts? I understand if it's difficult to predict something like this, but any info is welcomed.

i would say no if you aim to play a high settings. Most games will be 60 fps or under. Ideally you want your fps to be close to 120 for a 120HZ monitor to look good.

Most games? Damn, could you maybe tell me the cheapest GTX's that would run most games on 120hz?

Ideally anything above a GTX 760 will be ok.
You can still use a GTX 760 with that monitor but only if you use Nvidia Adaptive Vsync to reduce tearing under 60fps.

Do you mean anything above a regular 256-bit or the 192-bit GTX 760?

Thanks for helping.

GTX 770/R9 280x is probably the minimum level I'd recommend for a 120hz monitor. If you want more future-proofing, will need to go up at least a tier. To really get the benefits of a high refresh rate, you want a GPU to kick the butt of the games you're playing, not just run them at high at 60 FPS.
