Remember to follow your topics.

If you're a serious competitive CS:GO player, then a 16:9 1080p/1440p 144Hz monitor would be your best bet. The ASUS PG279Q has recently been released with a refresh rate of 165Hz. It does have IPS, but apparently the input lag is so low that you probably won't notice the difference.

I use a relatively cheap 60Hz IPS panel and I don't see any ghosting.

If that's the case, I'd go for the Acer. Read reviews of it and make sure it's not prone to dead pixels, quality control issues and other such similar issues. I believe some users reported dead pixels with the XB270HU, so it's something to look out for.
