Do I need a 120Hz monitor?

[Sven6895]

I'm making a new computer ultimately for gaming and I can't decide if I want to buy a 60Hz monitor or 120Hz, if my build includes the i5-4670k and MSI GTX 770 w/ 600w corsair psu, would I see any screen tearing due to the FPS being above 60? Would it be better for me to go with a 120Hz monitor?

I had this in mind http://au.pcpartpicker.com/part/asus-monitor-vh238h initially, but then changed to a computer that had IPS

So then I changed to this http://www.pccasegear.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=23987

I just cannot pick which monitor to use, and I wanted it to stay around the initial range of $150 which is is already quite low for the price of monitors like this. If need be, I would probably go to $200

Games will usually have Vsync that you can turn on. This locks the FPS at your screens refresh rate so there is no screen tearing.

Haha, and who told you that you would get tearing if you have more the 60 fps on a 60Hz monitor ?

That really gave me a good laugh

120Hz + monitor = you can play in 3D
It has nothing to do with tearing or ghosting you can buy 120Hz or 144Hz monitors and still have these negative effects

Yeah don't listen to this guy, he clearly doesn't know what he's talking about.
Just go with the first monitor and turn vsync on.

Clearly aye ?

So basically what you are saying is that, if you have a game like Counter Strike:GO as an example,
and you play it on a 60hz monitor with let's say 250 frames without vsync, you will get a tearing effect ?
