Unknown FPS. What HZ & resolution?

[freeman45]

I built a new system, but i'm using a shitty 1280x1024 hand-me-down monitor.
So I don't know what my minimum FPS will be with a 1080, thus choosing a monitor is stressing me out.

Should I even consider 60hz for my system?
And is 144hz too high? It seems like 120hz isn't even a choice anymore, it's not sold on new-egg.

I think I decided on either 24" or 27" TN panel. But refresh rate and resolution are up for debate. Point me in the right direction, please!



Choices :

1080 vs 1440p
60hz vs 120hz vs 144


System :

Intel i5 4690k
Nitro 390
16gb ddr3

Honestly it comes down to preference. What do you prefer? 1080p is a big step up for you, so why not get a 1080p 120hz monitor?

I have a BenQ XL2720Z 144hz 27" TN with blur reduction just sitting in its box I could sell. I used it for about a year and recently got a different monitor.

I used 1080 for years, until my monitor died last month. So i've goten used to 1080. But i'm wondering if my system can push out enough frames on 1440p.

I have a BenQ XL2720Z 144hz 27" TN with blur reduction just sitting in its box I could sell. I used it for about a year and recently got a different monitor.

Unless you live in canada, I don't think that would be feasible. Shipping would be too costly.
