I was considering getting this monitor, but I'm not sure. I've asked multiple people. I have a $350 budget and my graphics card is a EVGA 1060 6gb. I was hoping that someone could assure me that this would be good enough. I usually don't play CS:GO, and I was told that considering I usually play Rust, that I really wouldn't need 144hz or a 1ms response time. I was also told that considering that I mainly play Rust, Overwatch, and H1Z1, I really should go for a nice looking monitor rather than one with 144hz. I was hoping that someone could make this clear to me. Any answers or suggestions are great.

No answer or suggestions (well, maybe one) but some thoughts.

Some people want the best of the best. Judging by your comments I don't see you having the same 'enthusiastic need' of the technology; otherwise, I assume, you would have looked into the differences before.

The 144Hz refers to the monitor refresh rate. Typically, I believe, the rates are 60Hz, 120Hz and 144Hz.

Ideally, the fps (frames per second) your PC can output matches the monitor's refresh rates. More realistically fps exceeding the monitor refresh rate is probably 'better'. V-sync, for example, tries to lock fps output to 60 fps regardless of what the PC can output. Effectively it's about how smoothly the picture changes on the screen.

Competitive players who want...

Competitive players who want every single advantage possible would want the highest refresh rates and highest fps. So for Player A 1 frame rendered on a 60Hz monitor, Player B would have 2 frames rendered on a 120Hz monitor. (Assuming both have the same spec PC just different monitors.) Of course, this is meaningless if the player doesn't have the reaction times to match. The response time also plays a factor here between input and screen (though I think below 5ms is considered ideal).

I personally play games on a monitor considered to be more business class, but most games I play aren't heavily reliant upon quick reaction times.

More practically, I would suggest you use something MSI Afterburner or similar to see what sort of fps you get in the games you tend to play. Use that information to inform which monitor is considered more practical for your needs. For me, I rarely get a smooth 60fps so getting a 144Hz monitor would be pointless.
