I'm going to be buying parts for a Skylake rig next month (linked below). I've heard some talk about certain games looking silky smooth at 100+ frames per second on 120Hz monitors. Is it worth trying to build a monster rig that can maintain that kind of frame rate on high/ultra settings, or should I just be content with 60fps? I mean, how much would I really be missing out on? Thanks.
Monitor= Asus VG248QE 144Hz
