Thanks a lot! I still want to know if my gear is capable of pushing games beyond 60 fps though :)

 

An i5 + 970 will be able to get over 60 fps in many games, even if it means not having all settings on maximum.

I'm having a hard time choosing an appropriate monitor for my build. Specifically in between IPS and 144hz monitors.

 

Some say you can't tell the difference in colors unless you are a designer so a 144hz monitor is the way to go, but I'm still worried if my PC will have the horsepower to take advantage of the high refresh rates.

 

This is my stuff:

 

- Intel i5 4690K.

- GTX 970 G1 from gigabyte.

- Corsair vengeance 16gb DDR3 ram.

 

I really liked these two options from ASUS:

- VS24AH-P for IPS.

- VG248QE for 144hz.

 

I do like shooters like CS:GO or Battlefield, but I like playing tons of different games as well so...

 

Thank you :)

If it's a single monitor get the 144hz TN isn't bad compared to IPS unless you have the monitor at an angle
