Should I upgrade my monitor to a freesync one>

[Waffleholics]

This is my current monitor https://www.amazon.com/Acer-FS0HP-001-Widescreen-Computer-Monitor/dp/B006DEBY5M/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1500077153&sr=8-2&keywords=s240hl

Should I upgrade to something like this? (Im on a 200 dollar budget, looking to play competitive games on atleast 75 hz)https://www.amazon.com/24-inch-FreeSync-Monitor-VG245H-Response/dp/B01JGYM5H6/ref=sr_1_fkmr0_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1500067395&sr=8-2-fkmr0&keywords=Asus+-+VG245H+24.0%22+1920x1080+75Hz+Monitor%5C

Do you have an AMD GPU first of all? Otherwise freesync offers no benefits without a AMD.

Well, do the games you currently play at your settings stay at 75 or higher FPS? No sense getting a monitor that your GPU can't handle. And 75 FPS for things like first-person-shooters is a minimum. I think you'd better off, if possible, to wait for a while till you have more money and can afford a better 120 FPS monitor or something that would give you a better boost in gaming.

My pc can handle games at high-ultraish settings(well, depending on the game) pretty well, I want a high refresh rate for games like Lawbreakers, CSGO, Dirty Bomb, Overwatch, etc which I can probably run all of them over 144 fps. Should I spend the money on a budget 200 dollar 144hz freesync monitor that might look washed out or get a budget 200 dollar 75hz monitor?
