Best 144hz Gsync monitor

I play Csgo and Rainbow 6 siege and wanted to buy a new monitor as I currently am using a hertz wide screen which I do not really like.

What's your budget? Good G-Sync monitors can exceed well over 500 dollars, depending on the size and resolution. Also, what GPU are you using?

Unless you are using that 144Hz monitor for production type software, it's not going to do you much good. Especially for gaming on a gtx1060. The 1060 is built for 1080p/60Hz. You can use a 144Hz monitor, but don't expect to see many games at all even coming close to that number. You really need a 1070minimum to get more games that high.

1060 can push 144+ fps on CSGO and R6 easily. (Csgo is more cpu heavy). It shouldn't be a problem for eSports type of games.

Exactly. The 1060 will be limited to that genre. Any full fledged games like gta:v, Witcher 3, pubg, etc are going to suffer. You'll end up manually capping vsync/gsync a lot lower, closer to 60Hz, just to get seamless game play, the min/max variances making for some ugly stuttering at times.
