I'm building a new PC and setup and stuck between which monitor to get.

Shouldn't have a problem with getting the FPS to make use of the high refresh rates as my setup should be capable.
Setup:
Intel Core i7-6700K 4GHz
Asus Z170 Pro
Corsair Vengeance LPX 16GB (4x4GB) DDR4
EVGA 850 GQ Modular
Gigabyte GeForce GTX 1080 G1

The monitors I'm stuck with the choice is the:
Asus 27" PG278Q

Asus PG279Q 27" ROG Swift:

Money isn't really a massive problem but it would be great to get other options on the things like the different response times, also if there is any changes you would make to my setup as I haven't purchased the components yet.

Thanks!

Hi,

For the monitors there are 2 differences
1- Asus 27" PG278Q G-Sync 144Hz Monitor
---144Hz Refresh Rate
---1ms Response Time

2- Asus PG279Q 27" ROG Swift
---165Hz Refresh Rate
---4ms Response Time

I personally would go with Asus 27" PG278Q as 20refresh rate wont matter a lot but the response time is 1ms.

Would you say you could notice the diffrence between 4ms and 1ms?
