I've purchased a 144Hz Monitor ( http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16824160273 ) recently, and I'm about to buy a new graphics card.
Over here at my country both cards have similar prices, depending mostly of the aftermarket builder (an example would be ASUS: over here all of their cards are pretty expensive when compared to others).
Through my research, I've found that the GTX 1060 6GB is slightly better than the RX 480 8GB. However, if I choose AMD I'll be able to benefit from the FreeSync tech.
My question is: Is it worth it to get an RX 480 to benefit from the FreeSync, or the higher refresh rate of 144Hz alone would benefit the GTX 1060 to the point which it's way better than the AMD?
For further consideration: I mostly play WoW, and from time to time I play some Diablo 3 and Heroes of the Storm, besides some recent titles, like Watch Dogs 2 when it comes out for PC. Also, I want the new card to hold up to 3 to 4 years at 1080p, and maaaaaybe 1440p, but mostly 1080p.
Thanks in advance for all your help.
