I never saw a 144hz monitor in action, so I don't really know if it's worth the extra money. Many of my friends are saying that the difference is huge compared to a 60hz monitor. I currently have 2 monitors that are both 60hz whilist one is 768p (wall mounted since I have no space on my desk) and the other 1200p (28 inch). So Is it worth replacing the main one and buying a 1080p 144hz 27 inch monitor? My specs are as follows...

CPU: I5-4570

GPU: RX-580 8GB STRIX

RAM: 12GB in total

PSU: 600 watt

Monitors: HANNS G 28 inch, and some generic samsung 18 inch monitor.



I mainly play games like CS:GO, PUBG, ARK, GTA 5, Overwatch, Warframe and many more triple A story focused games.



With black friday coming, should I wait before buying, or are there no big discounts for monitors to wait for.



I'm currently looking at this monitor which is pretty good for its price (about 230$ Poland):

Due to that system only being a 4 core 4 thread chip that is four+ years of age, I would say no it's not worth investing in a 144hz monitor for triple A titles.
However, Esports titles like league of legends, Counter Strike, Overwatch, and Fortnight would definitely benefit from a higher refresh rate monitor and that system should be able to match FPS with a high refresh rate monitor.
