so i have a lg 24 inch monitor 60hz monitor at this moment. after building up a new pc i am getting way over 60 fps on almost every game most of the time hitting around 140fps.

so im wanting to use these frames by making it smoother by getting a 120hz or a more widescreen option.

just wondering what you think will be best, bearing mind i dont want to spend over £300

I'd go for the higher resolution over the frame rate. Gamers will tell you that 120Hz is noticably "smoother" but in the end, better resolution is usually a better, crisper option between the two. That, and 120Hz monitors are ridiculously overpriced. I'd go with resolution.
