Im about to build a new PC and I really want to get a 144Hz monitor. The problem is that many G-Sync supported monitors are already expensive to begin with and they are barely available in my country so I decided on a FreeSync ViewSonic XG2401 1080p 144Hz. The specs that I will be pairing with this are:

i5 8400 / Ryzen 5 2600
H370 / X370 board
16GB RAM
RX 580

Im going more towards the Ryzen 5 2600 side because the 2nd gen Ryzen has gotten pretty close to Intel in gaming and by overclocking it I can get pretty good performance out of it, and an all AMD system would be cool xD. Wanted to know if the RX580 would be good enough for the monitor? I plan on playing at around 80 fps or more on AAA Games and on eSports titles like CSGO i will be able to get the full 144Hz experience pretty easily. Opinions?

You won't hit 144FPS in most games but you'll get over 60FPS taking advantage of the range from 60-144. Definitely worth it and the freesync is so worth it even if you don't get near 144. The 580 is the best value going for 1080p over 60fps and freesync.
