Does a 144hz Display makes sense for 60fps gaming?

Hi all.

I am currently thinking about buying a new Display. And this one : Asus VG248QE, seems cool.
Has a rather low reaction time. But it has 144hz, and I won't be playing with that much fps, because then my PC will probably go up in flames.

So my question is: Does it make even the slightest sense to play with 60 fps on a 144hz display? Will it give me disadvantages?

I expect my PC to be able to run with enough fps at normal work, like office and photoshop, but gaming is probably out of reach.

people would say that at 60 fps exact, the difference between a 60hx and 144hz monitor is hard to differentiate, but above 60 fps, and then there will be visible differences between 2 monitors so if you know your pc can only hit 60 fps max, then a 60hz monitor would be fine, but if you know that your pc can hit above 60fps, then a 144hz monitor would be the way to go

Well....I do think my PC can go above 60fps...but then I will have serious heat problems, I think.

I have an i7-3770k and 2x GTX780 SLI.

So will my gaming experience with 60fps be the same as now (except with better reaction times) and office work will be smoother?

Oh will sli 780 you will definitely be hitting more than 60fps, like 80-90fps on modern games maybe, so I'd say you would be able to notice a difference between a 144hz monitor and a 60hz monitor, so you would be able to take advantage of the 144hz monitor, then again, you say you have heat problems, but if you can hit more than 60 fps on games, go for a 144hz monitor, but if you only want to play a 60 fps ish, then you won't notice the difference between a 60 hz monitor and a 144hz monitor at that frame rate

And its still a nice monitor even if you don't make use of the 144Hz, you still got the 1ms response.

If you use the computer mostly for games, the 144Hz monitor will give you less motion blur and less input lag.
If you use the computer mostly for other applications, you are better to choose a monitor with a higher resolution and better image quality. Examples are the Asus PB278Q and Dell U2713HM.
