Need help in choosing new monitor

Hello, guys.

I recently bought a new PC.

i5 6600k

GTX 1060 6GB
16GB Ram
I need a new monitor and I'm really lost.

All I know for sure is that i want 24 inch decent monitor.

I'm using the PC for everything, it's an all around multi media machine, but I'm gonna do a lot of gaming also.

So i need all around decent monitor for under $300.

I can't decide if I need 144hz refresh rate, or 60 is enough.

What are the best ports to have on a monitor (hdm, dvi, display port)

Response time ... etc.

I got my eye on the acer predator gn246hl for a 144mhz and a benq zowie RL2455 for $150 less thats 60hz

Is 144hz better outside of gaming. Is it noticeable while doing anything else on the pc (browsing, picture and video editing..etc)?

I know the question is kinda broad but that's the best i can give as an info.

Thanks in advance, I really need some guidance on that one.

I personally use the AOC I2369VM. It's only 23 inch but 1080p 60Hz. I love it since it's IPS, decent response time and the colours are very good from what I can tell.

Has 1xVGA, 2xHDMI and 1xDP. The borders are pretty think, less than 1cm

Thanks for the info.
I have one question. The video card I bought has hdmi 2.0 port. That supports higher refresh rate but all online shops i checked just say HDMI port in the spec section of any monitor I looked, even the most expensive ones. How do I know if any monitor has  hdmi 2.0 or 1.4 etc..
