After finally getting my build up to speed I have finally decided to not use a small tv for a monitor as it randomly turns off in the middle of gaming. I am looking for 1080p but not sure if I should shell out the extra money for a 144hz monitor instead of a 75hz monitor.
Here are the monitors I'm deciding between.

I'm running a GTX 1060 6gb with a Ryzen R5 2600 and 16gb of DDR4
I play pretty much every type of game and play cs:go on occasion, along with some other FPS.
Any help would be appreciated.

For modern AAA games, a 1060 wont push 144hz. But CSGO will on your system. I would go with the 144hz monitor becuase a good monitor can last a lot longer than any other component. I dont think i would go with viotek. Never heard of them.

Here is a decent budget option from Acer:
