Apologies if this sounds like a noib question but after many years gaming on PS4 I am looking to move back to PC. Currently speccing a rig for 1440p gaming but will be 7800K & 1080 / 1080 TI based. I already have a 27” 1440p Dell - this one:

Native resolution is 2560x1440 @ 60hz. Does that mean that in games (specifically fps like BF1) my fps would be capped at 60? Or I can run higher at say 80hz but may see screen tearing?

I guess I am asking if my monitor will be the bottleneck in my proposed rig in regard to frame rate. Or even if its capped at 60 its unlikely to ever drop lower so would be smooth enough anyway (the old adage of can the human eye even notice a refresh rate above 60hz).
