I have a GTX 660 and found it's kinda crappy. It takes a really old game (like Half-Life 2 old) or really low details to get it to render something like 144 fps. On 2007 on later games you're looking for 60 fps levels and on the newest stuff you'll be glad for 'playable' on decent details.
So no, if you're looking for a gaming monitor, most likely you won't be able to fully use 144 Hz. It will work, sure, but not smoother than a 60 Hz one unless you're playing old games or on low details.
