I have a monitor, Acer GN246HL, which can reach 144hz according to the eBay listing. However, the HDMI port won't allow for 144hz so I will have to use a DVI cable instead but my PC only has a DVI in port, not a DVI out port. I don't really know what I'm supposed to do, I'm not particularly literate when it comes to more than basic tech and I've been told by one of my friends that a Displayport to DVI cable won't give me 144hz.

Forgive if I'm missing something but my monitor will only take HDMI, DVI and VGA. If I use a displayport to HDMI cable or displayport to DVI cable, will that give me 144hz?
 
what is the refresh rate the monitor is currently on?
go to Start, Settings, System, Display, scroll down to Advanced Display settings, what is shown in Refresh rate (Hz)?
 
As you only gave us some specs on your PC will assume you are running windows 10?????
