don't worry about it, you'll be fine

enderman pretty much covered anything but basically the higher the fps the better (imo) lower response time the better (again imo)

What size Monitor are you looking for and what price range? 1080p can be EXTREMELY affordable. I'm currently using an Asus VX228H... 21.5" 60 Hz 1ms response time and no perceivable input lag. if you don't need a huge monitor, I would highly recommend a monitor like this (or even this exact one). I know tons of people will say that 60HZ isn't enough and that you need a 120hz or 144hz monitor. I'm not going to use the classic internet argument that "you cant see that many fps"... you CAN, but its not like 60 hz is bad. If you go from 144Hz and are USED to 144Hz down to 60Hz, you will notice it and it may seem choppy or slow simply because its (about) half as many frames as you are used to. But if you aren't used to 144hz, or don't want to spend the extra cash needed for a 144hz, 60hz is PLENTY. I have a 980ti and DELIBERATELY use a 60hz monitor so I can play any game at any settings at exactly 60 fps all the time and I love it. (your mileage may vary)

Q. What is refresh rate?

A. It is the number of frames your Monitor will draw per second (measured in Hertz, Hz)

 

Q. What is response time?
A. It is the amount of time it takes your monitor's pixels to switch from one colour signal to another. Basically at 60Hz, your monitor will draw a frame about once every 17 milliseconds, but with a 3ms Response time, it actually only takes about 3 milliseconds to draw that frame, at which point it would sit still and wait 14-ish more milliseconds for the next frame to come, and then it would take about 3milliseconds to draw that frame, and so on. (its a tad more complicated than this in reality, but that's basically what happens) This is different from Input Lag

Q. What is Input Lag?
A. This is the amount of time between when you give your computer a command, such as clicking your mouse or pressing a key on your keyboard, and when that command shows up on screen. Most Manufacturers do not advertise this stat, but checking your monitor on a 3rd party site that tests this sort of thing can let you know just how much there is. If you're not into hardcore and highly competitive gaming, then you probably don't need to worry about this stat. Most modern monitors fall into the "good enough" category when it comes to this stat and its something that you will likely never notice.


Q.What do I need on a 1080p Monitor?
A. Its all about personal preference. like I said, I use a 21.5" 60Hz 1ms screen. I love it. I game pretty hard on it, and pretty competitively in any online game out there. I certainly don't consider it a handicap or disadvantage of any kind. That being said, there are people out there who would say that the 60Hz isn't enough, or that the 1ms response time is a waste of money.

TL:DR
As far as what you actually NEED for a decent 1080p gaming experience, 60hz is all you need. faster than 8ms response time (Although I would personally recommend 5ms or faster just for some extra insurance) and then pick a monitor that is both big enough for what you want (in case you want bigger than 21.5" like I use) and is within your price range.
