I just spent a lot of money on my new rig, and bought a gtx 970. I am experiencing a whole lot of screen tearing in demanding games, such as assassins' creed, far cry, shadow of mordor etc. I don't want to invest in a gsync monitor cuz there aren't any budget friendly 24 inch ips ones out there right now. Idc about 144hz, i'm fine with 60. What I do care about is the horrible tearing! Please help me, as it is really frustrating for me...

Plus, on top of that, my computer reboots it self just a minute or two after starting to play those games, which is also extremely frustrating. Would really appreciate your help.

My rig:
Power supply enermax650
Intel mother board 16gig, Intel i7 processor
ssd 240 kingston
wd 1TB harddrive
asus gtx970

Did you check on your processor and gpu temperature while gaming? if not, use hwmonitor or msi after burner while you playing the game in windowed mode....
i have i5 4670k and 780ti ,playing games in 60hz samsung tv never seen any tearing at all other than 40-50ms lag since it's a tv....
also write the idle temperature of your cpu and gpu too....
