[chanch77710]

hello i am new to this fourm and i see that this community is so helpful so i wanted to ask a few questions, as i am buying a new pc already and its on its way. I wanted to ask if it were be better for me to get a 60hz monitor or a 120-144hz monitor the specs on my pc are going to be listed at the end of the thread. i see that people suggest different type of monitors for different types of builds and i wanted to see if i could get a few suggestions from you guys thank you!

The spec:
AVA Direct Tower Case
Intel i7-4770k Quad Core CPU
2x4GB RAM@1600MHz
Asus Maximus VI Gene Motherboard
EVGA Geforce GTX760
1TB HDD @7200 RPM
DVD ROM included
750w PDU or equivalent

A 24" 1080p 60Hz monitor or TV will work best with that build. It has a great CPU but not really the greatest GPU(aka a graphics card). Having that mid-range GPU with only 2GB of VRAM you aren't going to be hitting such high FPS so that a 144Hz monitor will be justified. Sure, in some lower end/older titles you MIGHT see those numbers but more often than not you won't.

If you want. I'm just offering an opinion. An informed one but still, it's just an opinion. The higher Hz does offer smoother gaming but your GFX card just isn't there.

You won't notice the smoothness. Why? For one the lower performance of the card ill cause issues and idk if you've experienced 60Hz gaming but it's just fine. I bought a TV a few months ago and that's what I'm using. Sniper Elite 4? Ultra settings? Beautiful. My GTX 970 can handle that refresh rate and 1440p but my wallet can't.

It's too much monitor for your card. If you were going to be upgrading anytime very soon to something like a 1060 then a 1440p 144Hz TV would be perfect. Yes, I saw the 1920 x 1080. Take a look at Photonboy's response to a similar question

A relevant excerpt - You don't want to drop below the target refresh rate (i.e 144FPS) or you get synch stutter issues.

The monitor you linked to doesn't have any kind of adaptive tech. so disregard those statements.

The most succinct I can get is do you want to bottom out your graphics settings(possibly also reducing your resolution) to help get to 144FPS or do you want the most eye candy possible? Eye candy? 60 Hz. Lower settings? 144Hz.

Apart from the performance issues that monitor is only $42 more at Amazon, brand new. What happens if it stops working in a month? Can you return it? Get a replacement?

I don't think that's enough monitor to justify $140 used.

I'd buy a https://www.amazon.com/Acer-R240HY-bidx-23-8-Inch-Widescreen/dp/B0148NNKTC .

i love me some eye candy thank you! i was just not sure you know if i really needed a 144hz thank you very much so i am taking it as any 60hz monitor would be fine aslong as its 1920-1080?
