What monitor 144hz or 60hz

[DustSneak]

Should i get a 144hz monitor for this set up?
I would be playing Csgo which need a high Hz but im not sure would the 144 hz monitor be a valid option for this set up

Intel® Core™ i5-6500 3,2GHz
MSI Z170A Tomahawk (USB3.0, SATAIII)
MSI GeForce GTX 950 GAMING, 2GB GDDR5 Corsair 8Gt (2x4Gt) DDR4 2400MHz
Kingston V300 120GB SSD
Corsair VS650, 650W

Just a build mention, you got one of the lower quality power supply and ssd choices picked.

On your original question, yes ofcourse 144Hz. World of a difference in CS:GO and i5-6500+GTX 950 can easily handle it maxed.

You are pairing a high end CPU and Motherboard with a low end GPU. You'll be doing good to get 60 FPS in some games with that GPU, let alone 144.

And ~200 fps in CSGO maxed

I do have a Corsair Cx600 in stock. The power supply is coming with my case.

So based on your solution, will you be going with 60Hz instead even though 144Hz is most likely your ideal option? Or did I understand your original question wrong?

What GPU should i buy then in your opinion?

I think i will go for 144 hz just because i play CSGO really much and i would like a little advantage against other players by using a 144hz monitor. I might just switch the Gpu and SSD as you said it wasn't good.

GTX 950 is a good graphics card. I was on about the power supply and SSD. Corsair VS and CX line-up are low quality units with cheapened capacitors. Good power supplies are most basically shown in tier 1 and 2 of this list:

GTX 950 is an excellent card for Counter Strike: Global Offensive at 1080p@144fps

So i should change my SSD and PSU for some better quality ones?

And i will upgrade in some time but for now im not interested in these newer games. So if i am going to start playing some more demanding games i will switch my GPU out for a better one, but for now this one is good enough for CSGO and those kinds of games.

CX450M only if you never intend on using a heavier GPU. Samsung 850 Evo if you even want better SSD quality.

I think i will go all in for this so i'll get the best quality for my little pennies Will that 450 watt PSU work with the setup well?
Because i can get a better one no problem if i need to. And i wan to thank you for all the help you have given to me!

Would the Corsair CX450M work with the i5-6500+GTX 950 setup? Yeah it would, with ease. My next build might be with a Corsair CX450M, but I'll see about that. Can even run an R9 Nano.
