I'll most likely stream Call of Duty Blackout, Ring of Elysium, Battlefield V and then some other minor games like EVE Online or Albion Online and Heroes of the Storm.

Those are/will be my main games pretty much.

  Stay at 144Hz then. visual difference between 144 and 240 arent noticeable, but performance hit will be big on the CPU. If it is noticeable, then you arent focused in the game.

Aight I'm looking at getting 2 or 3 decent high refresh rate monitors... like 1080p or 1440p and anywhere from like 144Hz to 240Hz


I watched https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k1DDON7F9sc and in there he mentioned the CPU does a lot of the work when going to high refresh rates n such so my question is am I gonna be ok with 1080p or 1440p high refresh rate monitors if I have a i7-8700?

What graphics card would be ideal? I have a 960 at the moment I was thinking a 1070Ti but is that good enough for what I'm tryin to do?

also just HOW much CPU is this gonna take because I also like to stream on Twitch and I don't wanna harm the stream at all since I don't have a dual PC setup..

any feedback would be awesome so I know what to do before I go and start throwin down $$$

Note: I was looking at getting like 2 of these...

depends on which will be used for games and what games.

streaming at the same time will be a bit more difficult. It still depends on what you play though.
