The 144 hz on the acer looks nice for not much of a cost increase if you can maintain it enough with the 1060 and don't worry about g-sync.

Acer GN246HL.
GTX 1060 and i5 should have no problem running 144 Hz monitor.

Benq RL2455HM is 60 Hz and this model is also more of a console player monitor.

Some games like ark is very unoptimized and running on ultra won't be able to maintain the 144hz even on just a 1080p with a 1060 as even the 980 ti's had issues.

It will be enough for going on high settings and get decent fps still though.

Even if there are few badly optimized games like ARK most of the games have no problem running this monitor well, people were running 144 Hz fine even on GTX 970 and GTX 1060 has same performance as GTX 980.
Also you dont really need to get 144 fps all the time to still have much smoother gaming experience then with 60 Hz monitor.
Besides, decent G-sync monitor would cost more then twice as much.

if you get the gtx 1060, a 1080p 144hz or 1440p 60hz will be nice

BENQ RL series really are not very good at all; I'd go for the ACER for something good, 144Hz under $200 range

by that i just wanted to say it probably will be great because i have similar model, but now i noticed yours is RL not GL, so i don't know now...RL is suited for console players more
