Im planning on buying an new 144hz monitor( http://zowie.benq.com/en/product/monitor/xl/xl2720.html ) and i don't know if my graphics card can run it? (for CS:GO, with low settings and multicore rendering on)
Can my GTX 750 support a 144hz monitor?

How many fps do you get right now at these settings?
If.its more than 144 - yes it can handle it
If you struggle getting 144fps on these settings on your current display -- no you won't be able to handle a 144Hz display
Especially with csgo it's mostly down to the cpu rather than the GPU limiting your fps

CPU aside, that's a pretty low-end GPU in terms of modern gaming.
However, you need to be thinking carefully about how you setup VSYNC:
1) VSYNC OFF
2) VSYNC ON
3) Adaptive VSYNC
4) Adaptive "HALF" VSYNC
With VSYNC OFF, your GPU spits out new frames as fast as possible. So you don't have to hit 144FPS. The con is that you get screen tearing.
With VSYNC ON, you need to be able to output a solid 144FPS or else you get stuttering. Maintaining 144FPS (at 1920x1080) is impossible, except for the basic desktop and very light games.
Adaptive VSYNC:
This just toggles VSYNC ON or OFF. If you drop below the target you get SCREEN TEAR instead of stuttering which is usually the better trade-off. I generally aim for no more than 10% of the time below the target.
Adaptive "HALF" VSYNC:
Same as above, but you are capping at 72FPS on a 144Hz monitor. It's going to be a good choice for some of the games you play.
Other:
You're going to have to decide on the above as well as whether the tradeoff of low quality is worth the FPS difference. Obviously you are on a budget (and haven't said what CPU etc you have) but maybe that will help a bit.
*Using VSYNC OFF is often the best choice for a game like CSGO. If you can output high enough FPS the screen tear is barely noticeable. What you may find ODD is that in some cases apparently 60Hz monitors have less screen tear than 144Hz, with VSYNC OFF, and at the same FPS.
The amount of screen tear has a few factors, and a big one is the ratio of FPS to refresh rate. You really have to experiment.
(and 1600x900 may be a better choice as well if trying to keep FPS high with only a GTX750)

The added latency should be pretty minor at 144FPS. That's only adding 7ms at most.
VSYNC at 60Hz is pretty obvious for fast-paced shooters. Also, if there is any screen tear with VSYNC OFF then it could impact gameplay negatively as well.
Anyway, experiment. I would force on ADAPTIVE VSYNC instead and see how that works. That's mainly to help if you have periodic drops in frame rate as that causes stutter if you have VSYNC ON.
