If you have a newer AMD graphics card, you might get a better experience with the Veiwsonic as it is a freesync monitor.
They are all good monitors, You might let price be your determining factor.

For fps games, you want not only fast response time but high refresh rate. All the ones you listed are 60 or possibly 75 max. get this instead:

https://www.amazon.com/gp/offer-listing/B01A0ZRR50/ref=sr_1_2_olp?ie=UTF8&qid=1480471388&sr=8-2&keywords=144hz+1ms+freesync&condition=new

Cheaper than everything you listed, reputable brand, 144 hz, 1ms response time, FreeSync if you have an AMD card.

That link takes you to a Canadian site and the prices are Canadian dollars.
Here is that monitor from a US site:

For ~$250. or about $100 more than the ViewSonic You had listed.

That looks nice but a lot more expensive, I am looking to spend under 200, preferably under 170. I totally agree gettin a 144 would be better but atm I cant afford, and to be honest this is my current monitor: http://www.ascendtech.us/dell-22-e228wpc-widescreen-lcd-monitor_i_m22dele228wpcws.aspx

Its like a 10+ yr old crappy dell the specs are awful so Im sure a newer 60hz would be a large upgrade for me.

The BenQ monitor you had listed is a nice monitor, and very favorably reviewed on the Newegg site. You could do a lot worse. The Freesync on the VeiwSonic is a nice feature that only comes into play if you have an AMD card. Doesn't mean that an AMD card is required.

Of the three monitors you listed, I would rank the BenQ first, then the ViewSonic, and the Asus last considering Price/performance.
