my specs are
8700k
Z320m msi
32gb ram
gtx 1080

I am looking for a new screen.
Now I am wondering, which screen to take.
I am reading up on g-sync but I am wondering if it is worth it on the 144hz monitors ?
I am not a hardcore gamer (Ark / Skyrim / CSGO / ... and some other games)
a single 27inch is about the maximum I can setup

G-Sync is good to have at 100+Hz.

 

FreeSync won't work on your card, so don't consider that at all.

I'd go with a GSync monitor, and a good one. Monitors are one of the things people neglect the most during a build, yet it's what you interact with during every single second you spend on your PC. It also generally goes through many builds.

G-sync isn't worth the extra cost, better to save money with a free-sync display.

 

What's your budget/country?

I edit my posts a lot, Twitter is @LordStreetguru just don't ask PC questions there mostly...

What would be the point of FreeSync? It's not going to work on an Nvidia card.

It's cheaper for the same display type

Except you don't get the variable refresh rate of FreeSync, which means you just get FreeSync to get the higher refresh rate of your display.

Screen tearing at 144hz is already less noticeable, also depends if the person buying the display even notices screen tearing as is.

well budget is around 500-700€ (max of 850$ i think) from Europe

the system is now running on my old 22 inch cheap TN panel screen and its showing that it is cheap right now :)
1440p and a high refreshrate are my number 1 concerns
 

25% of the time I spent on the computer is gaming (mostly Ark SE (thats why i upgraded system) and eve online / csgo / skyrim / gta 5)
25% oculus
50% youtube / netflix / social media
