How does VSR work?

I forgot to add that he wants to get the Pixio PX247 24 inch 144Hz 1920x1080p.

Budget (including currency): $1.5k, ballpark is ok Country: United States Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: Grand Theft Auto V, Overwatch, and Fortnite. Other details (existing parts lists, whether any peripherals are needed, what you're upgrading from, when you're going to buy, what resolution and refresh rate you want to play at, etc): He wants a good 1080p monitor, or should he get an ultra-wide? Is the monitor in the list good? He wants a high frame rate, around 144-165hz. High game settings. Is the graphics card good for high-max settings? He was going to get Nvidia at first, but saw AMD got better reviews.

Can I use a liquid CPU cooler for a 1st boot test because my CPU did not come with any stock fans. I have the Cooler Master Nepton 240M 76.0 CFM Liquid CPU Cooler.

Why are the changes you made better?

Why's it better?

I am building my first 4K gaming PC that will play games like The WItcher 3 and GTA V at 60 FPS with high - max settings (with AA turned off or 2x-4x). How does it all look? Can I lower some parts to save money?
