Recently I've built my very first gaming pc, and so far I've loved it to the fullest. I have no idea why I haven't done this earlier, it is sure worth the money (and time).

Now I've come to realize that my the refreshrate of my monitors is just 60hz, and that is totally understandable, these are some seriously old Apple displays, one of which actually came with one of those giant Mac Pros. I remember my friend getting this 'RTS-gaming monitor' by BenQ and he got it for a little over 100 euros, and I believe the refreshrate of that was/is over 60hz. I really love gaming and how much smoother it looks on monitors that have a higher refreshrate, but from what I've learned, don't those 120hz+ monitors tend to be a little pricy? If I were to buy a new 120hz display for gaming in Europe, Finland, how much would one cost, keeping in mind that I really love quality but at the same time don't have THAT much to spend on it, at least right now. Opinions?
Oh and my gpu is a GTX 660 (yeah, I know, it's two years old but hey, budget pc :p).

Yes I do get over 60 fps with many games, only game that this didn't happen is was Watch Dogs, because, well, Ubisoft. Do you have any good and relatively cheap 120hz monitor(s) to recommend? I like BenQ but I'm not sure if the ones that are 90e+ 120hz...

OFFtopic: Just poured cola all over my iPad, keyboard, table and somehow even threw some on my display right after doing that post lol.

That sounds damn impressive man! :D How does it differ from a 120hz monitor, other than by 20 fps? I mean is it really worth it for 20 more fps?

The difference isn't major but the quality of the monitor is outstanding. For the price, this monitor is worth it.

I will sure consider this, as you recommend it this much :D Probably at least getting a 120hz monitor when I get the money for it anyways.
