should i upgrade my 60hz monitor on a budget build

[bharath747]

i'm planning on building a $500 gaming pc. i decided every parts that i'll need but will i need a higher refresh rate like a 144hz considering i'm on a budget of $500

No! Don't use the money for your build for a 144hz or higher resolution screen. Use that 500$ for a nice computer. You can always upgrade the screen later. The majority of people still game on 60hz.

okay, but is that alright? i'll be playing fps games mostly and people are saying that you'll notice the movement is not smooth in 60hz monitor

If you play on 60fps on a 60hz screen, the animation is smooth and nice.
If you put a 60hz screen next to a 144hz screen, Yes, 144hz looks waaay smoother. But it's not worth giving up PC specs for. Besides, some people game on 4K resolution @ 60hz and love it.

Just enjoy a nice build on 60hz, you will enjoy it with no problems, and it will look smooth .
