I'm looking to buy a 144hz monitor but I'm not sure which one to get. Im currently looking at the Asus vg248qe and the ViewSonic xg2401/2402. I have a gtx 1060 so free-sync is not a selling point for me. Thanks.
 
take a look at the Samsung C24FG70. Its a 1080p 144hz VA display. You can find a detailed review here from PCMonitors.info and I recommend you read it but I'll give a quick summary here:

Out of the box colors, gamut and contrast are good. Great pixel response times and low input lag compliment the 144hz well. The 1800R curve shouldn't be too much and is fairly natural. It has a little bit of saturation loss around the edges and some black crush but its consistent detail is great helps make up for it. A little bit of overshoot at 100hz is also a negative. It's stand is rather bulky and has a big footprint so take that into account. Overall, it is a good monitor thanks to its responsiveness and image quality but it has a few minor drawbacks.
 


On amazon it goes for around 300£ here which is quite high, is it much better than the xg2401/02
 


color wise it will be much better but I'm not sure if it will be worth it/noticeable in gaming. If it costs much more then I would just get the Viewsonic
