“So What specs do you really need to run a 165hz monitor? I have GTX 1060 with an i5 and it seems the best it will do is 144..”

• Depends on the game and the resolution you're using. Most games do not cap the framerate. Now, you won't be able to run graphics-heavy games at 1440p. with resolution around 165 with a 1060, but likely can if you bump the resolution down to 1080p (I highly recommend maximizing frame rate over resolution for game performance for smooth gameplay). This is a terrific monitor especially for when you upgrade that 1060 but won't be spending $800+ for a GTX 3080 or better. 1440 at 165Hz, sitting a couple of feet away, is a world-class experience for anything less than spending extravagantly for a gaming setup.

• You could go for a higher GPU series(like RTX 3070) to run the 165 Hz monitor.
