Do i need GSync monitor for this build?

[Jabed_]

I understand GSync will help use the GPU in order to stop tearing

I plan to use this at 1440p on a 144hz monitor:
i7 8700k
asus rog strix 1080ti oc
16gb ram

yes, good to have. Also check out ultra wide 1440p 100hz Gsync, totally different experience.

I've had trouble with my Gsync monitor in the sense of it ruining some games that don't properly react to it maybe (7 days to die alpha indie game) and realize Vsync is better in some cases where my fps are above the monitor refresh rate. But I run at 4K so it's not the same.

In my opinion, since you can disable gsync easily even during a game, and the extra cost isn't as much anymore nowadays, if you buy a monitor on sale, yes, get a Gsync monitor it helps for games like Witcher 3 which you can't run at over 144 fps, unless you lower details on the game.

Personally I'd rather lower settings, keep the FPS synced with Vsync and use the $200 (roughly) saved by not getting Gsync to buy games.
