144 hz monitor help

[Nikko G]

So I am looking to buy a 144 hz 1080 monitor, I would like one that is has low inputlag and low response time. My budget is 225 MAX.

Questions regarding 144 hz monitors
-Will I experience screen tear if lets say I play at 100 FPS and not 144?
-What cord can I use to do 144 hz 1080p with my EVGA GTX 970 SC ACX 2.0?
-I am also going to have another monitor attached to it, but this monitor is 60 hz, is it fine that I have two different monitors with different refresh rates?

Screen tearing should not happen unless you drop below 60.
I would use a display port cable.
Yes it is fine to have two different monitors. I recommend (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00KO4518I?keywords=144hz&qid=1457399631&ref_=sr_1_2&s=pc&sr=1-2) for your budget.

Oh alright thank you, I seem to have missed this monitor when I was looking. This monitor does not come with displayport sadly? Which should I use then?

The only cable that can transmit 144hz besides display port is a dual link dvi port which is supported with this monitor.

Dual DVI? So does that mean I will need to plug in a DVI Cable and then VGA Cable? Or only the DVI Cable? Sorry I have no experience with this.

The real question is what games are you going to play? Any AAA games and the GTX 970 is far too weak for 144Hz 1080p. Unless it's like CSGO, you'll need a much stronger GPU.

Yeah I understand my card will not be able to reach 144 hz with every game. But I do play a ton of csgo, battlefield, and call of duty. So I think this is a good investment for me, I also play games like The Witcher 3, Skyrim, Ark Survival, Spintires, etc. Which is why I bought a 1080 60 hz IPS monitor for those games.
