re: 120hz Monitor, PSU, and Memory Oh My! (Questions)

I'm really glad this question is being asked here. I've spent the last several days researching this very question. The common answer I seem find is that a mass majority of people think that 120hz means that you must be able to push 120fps or you are wasting your money. This is not the case at all. Here is a way to wrap your head around all this.

You have a 60hz monitor, it refreshes at 60 times a second, your video card is sending it say 80fps. This is more than your monitor can draw, thus you just lost 20frames of information and you get screen tear. Now, take the same 80fps and push it to a 120hz monitor, you will not miss any frames which equals smoothness.

asus 144hz higher hz than the benq xl24 for about 100 cheaper. I'm getting that and adding another 7950 for bf4.

Yes exactly the monitor im going to order next week. Probably the best gaming monitor for the money on the market. 1ms response time
I just need to figure out what video card i want. My gtx560 has served me well, but I want something that will carry me a few years...the titian is not an option.
