Good 1080p display for budget

justinfields

I am building a PC, and am trying to find a good 1080p monitor that is not too expensive, but has a good refresh rate.  However, I don't know what a good amount for refresh rate is.  I will have a Geforce GTX 970 Windforce card, and the games I will be playing are LoL, CS:GO, and I plan to play GTAV.  Could someone explain to me if I can actually see over 60 FPS on a 60Hz refresh rate?

Nope not at all, 60hz is the time that the frames refresh per sec/min (not sure) but if you get say a 120hz or 144hz monitor you'll be able to see up to them fps counts. 120 hz = 120fps, etc.

Did you really say "Can you actually see 60hz?" The answer is Yes if you have never experienced it. 

 

Here is a good one that I personally like as a budget monitor. http://www.amazon.com/VS228H-P-21-5-Inch-Full-HD-LED-Lit-Monitor/dp/B005BZNDOO/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1429198917&sr=8-1&keywords=ASUS+1080p

 

Not the best but you know, budget be budget.

I can testify that that is a pretty decent monitor, I use two for my setup.
