Hello! :) Not long ago a got a low end gaming pc. It has : I3 10105f , msi gtx 1650 gddr6 OC , 16 gb ddr4 3000mhz , 500 w ewga psu. Im just a casual gamer,
but my monitor is ruining the experience. I have a (around) 15 year old square shaped acer al 1917f monitor.(8 ms response time which is bad) The only reason i havent switched to a 1080p monitor/tv that i have unused at home, is because that tv/monitor is only 60hz and my old acer is 75hz. And the 1080p tv/monitor just feels slow. There is only 1 game that requires high fps that i play and its csgo. On competetive settings (full resolution 1280x1024) i get around 100-450 fps. I definitely want to upgrade my monitor but im not sure what hz should i get. Im expecting a 20-30% fps drop if i switch from 1280-1024 to 1080p, and a 144hz would be an overkill since my pc wont be able to provide 144fps+ all the time. But from a few yt benchmark videos i saw that its able to give 150+fps with all high settings.
And then there are the new updates. After almost every update i have less and less fps, or just more unstable fps. So maybe it will be able to keep up with my monitor for a few months but later i dont know. Should i get rather a 120 hz, or stick with a decent 1080p 75 hz with low response time.
Thanks in advance

Even if you think that 144hz is overkill you won't be spending that much more for so much more Hz. And when you upgrade your setup for more fps, your monitor will be compatible. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B09TTDRXNS/ref=ox_sc_act_title_9?smid=ALR6UZJS8XOC3&th=1

Thanks for the response. You are right, there isnt much difference in the price of a 75 and 144hz monitor. Btw i just ran a fps benchmark and got an average of 330 fps. And i can always lower the setting.
