Hello, I'm looking to buy the following PC:
http://www.voelkner.de/products/674983/Midi-Tower-PC-Medion-P5321-G-Intel-Core-i5-i5-4440-4-x-3.1-GHz-8-GB.html?ref=19&products_model=Q022091&utm_source=idealo&utm_medium=CPC&utm_campaign=Q022091

I'm not looking to build a PC myself or add any parts (atleast in the near future) and this one has 4 years of warranty and seems to be the best one I could find for my budget of around 800€ in Germany. (with 4 years warranty it's 845€)

The problem is the GPU, GTX 760 192-bit 1.5GB. I've got the following Monitor: http://www.asus.com/Monitors_Projectors/VG248QE/

It's a 24 inch 144hz monitor.

Here are the spcifications to the GPU:

Now here are my questions:

1. Is the GPU good enough for 120hz gaming?

2. Is it good enough for 3D gaming/3D Blu-Ray movies? I don't have to max out the newest games, but I would like to use at least some Anti-Aliasing.

3. I would also like to know how future proof it is to play the majority of games on medium to high (not highest) settings, at least for the 4 years the warranty lasts? I understand if it's difficult to predict something like this, but any info is welcomed.
 
Solution
Ideally anything above a GTX 760 will be ok.
You can still use a GTX 760 with that monitor but only if you use Nvidia Adaptive Vsync to reduce tearing under 60fps.

Most games? Damn, could you maybe tell me the cheapest GTX's that would run most games on 120hz?

Do you mean anything above a regular 256-bit or the 192-bit GTX 760?

Thanks for helping.

GTX 770/R9 280x is probably the minimum level I'd recommend for a 120hz monitor. If you want more future-proofing, will need to go up at least a tier. To really get the benefits of a high refresh rate, you want a GPU to kick the butt of the games you're playing, not just run them at high at 60 FPS.
