Does 144hz and G-Sync make a difference if I'm not playing games like CSGO?

I'm planning on getting the Acer XB240H 1080p 144hz G-Sync Monitor because I'm very interested in technology. Personally I prefer the smoothness over the resolution, but I don't have the money to get 1440p 144hz.

I play a lot of differnent games like GTA V, Rocket League, H1Z1, and so on. I see a lot of people saying 144hz is only worth it for competitve FPS games like CSGO, but I like to play games for fun. Will I still get an enjoyable experience out of G-Sync and 144hz if I am playing these games?

Specs:
CPU: i7 4770 (3.4 GHz)
GPU: MSI Gaming 4G GTX 970
RAM: 16GB DDR3 1333MHz
Motherboard: MSI Z97 Gaming 5

Thanks in advance!

well, 144 is smooth regardless of what you do. as long as your rig can push >100fps, you should be able to notice the difference. but, for example, if you push ultra on a very demanding game and can barely hit 60fps, then the high refresh rate will not be of much use

Sooooooo not true. Oh my..
I just got my Philips 242G today for $200, Regular $330 (on clearance) and its a 144 Hz monitor. I just tried Crysis 3 and wow. I also have a 970, so its a great match up. 144 Hz is a world of difference. Take a look at this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PgHx3eMBXjI

what is not true?

60 FPS on a 144 hz is identical to 60 FPS on a 60 hz panel. Gsync should never be used if you can push 100 plus FPS is already enough to not notice screen tearing, due to the reduced time frames spend on screen.

agreed suzuki. not sure what was wrong with my post.
running a game on 30fps on a 144hz will not take advantage of the high refresh rate
