what freesync does is that the monitor refresh rate will be equal to FPS within the freesync limits of the monitor.
it is helpful with low not so high FPS by displaying them immediately, removing the screen tearing and to certain degree helps to smooth some micro freezes.
IMO it is kinda useless with high refresh rate monitors (above 100Hz) as the 1/100 of a second is good enough not to be noticed for any of the above.
what they forget to tell you is that as every other sync type, it increases input lag, though relatively small compared to V-SYNC.

Yea should be more than enough. At higher resolutions the GPU is stressed more than the CPU.

For gaming zerk2012 build is a lot better than yours.. your build is ok but instead of paying 469 for the Vega 64 card I would def buy the GTX 1070 Ti for around 352. They are equal cards when it comes to performance and you save 100. But you can upgrade your current build to an i7 but your current i5 will be able to play at 1440 just fine,.

If I had your current build and I wanted a better CPU and play at 1440p i'll buy a GTX 1070 Ti and upgrade to 4 generation i7(maybe used on ebay)

I know that the 1070ti is cheaper than the vega 56 but ive went with the vega because the monitor is freesync compatible. Do you thing that freesync has a big enough benifit to justify going witht the vega? Because thats still cheaper than going gtx and g-sync.
Im not even too sure what freesync actually does but am I correct in thinking that it makes it look as if you are getting more fps than you actually are?
