I'm building a new PC and setup and stuck between which monitor to get.

Shouldn't have a problem with getting the FPS to make use of the high refresh rates as my setup should be capable.
Setup:
Intel Core i7-6700K 4GHz
Asus Z170 Pro
Corsair Vengeance LPX 16GB (4x4GB) DDR4
EVGA 850 GQ Modular
Gigabyte GeForce GTX 1080 G1

The monitors I'm stuck with the choice is the:
Asus 27" PG278Q

Asus PG279Q 27" ROG Swift:

Money isn't really a massive problem but it would be great to get other options on the things like the different response times, also if there's any changes you would make to my setup as I haven't purchased the components yet.

Thanks!

the only difference between the pg278q and the pg279Q is that the pg279q is capable to overclock to 165 hz where the pg278q can't
they're both made by asus they're both 144 hz monitors but the pg278q cannot be overclocked to 165 hz where on the pg279q you can overclock in the monitor's menu section if I remember right its the very top section in the menu you press right then select 165 hz and then go to apply

You would say there is a large difference between 1m and 4ms?
