60hz or 144hz Screen with my build??

[ChumpBender]

Hi all,

I'm building a new rig and I wasn't sure if it will be powerful enough to get the potential out of a 144hz screen, or if I should just save the money and go for a 60hz.

My build is going to be something like:-

CPU: Intel Core i5-6600K 3.5GHz Quad-Core Processor Motherboard: Asus Z170 PRO GAMING/AURA ATX LGA1151 Motherboard Memory: Kingston Savage 16GB (2 x 8GB) DDR4-3000 Memory Video Card: Asus GeForce GTX 1070 8GB Video Card

The 2 montiors I'm choosing between are as follows:-

Monitor: Acer XF270HU 27.0" 144Hz Monitor (£389.99)

Monitor: BenQ GW2765HT 27.0" 60Hz Monitor (£294.01)

Any advice would be most welcomed!

Thanks

Is this a PCS built PC or are you building it yourself? We're not allowed to give advice on non-PCS builds I'm afraid.

It'll be my own build.

No worries!
