Actually the "refresh rate" is what you are talking about. That is the rate at which the video card "paints" the images on the creen..60 hz means 60 times a minute.
The higher the refresh rates, the harder the video card has to work....so raising the refresh rate would more likely slow down your CS play, if anything.
BUT..the main thing about refresh rate is that at 60hz you can usually actually see the screen "flicker" and it causes eye strain after a while....so most people usually set it at LEAST to, say, 72hz. Then the images on the screen are much more 'solid" and they dont have "flicker"..less eye strain that way.
Usually you right click the desktop, click properties, settings,advanced..then maybe "adapter" or "display modes" etc...then you just change it to around 72ish or whatever...there is possibility of putting it higher than the monitor can handle which can cause damage....but probably any of them will do 80 or 85ish no problem....and u can just go online and look up the specs for your monitor.
After you adjust it you may have to then adjust the screen size on the monitor itself..since higher refresh makes the vid card etc work a little harder, sometimes the image "shrinks" when you increase the refresh rate, so you have to resize the screen etc
