So yes if you want to hit 120 FPS V-sync at 1440p you will need a very powerful graphics solution. But if you are already capable at 1440p of framerates in the 120+ range switching to a 120hz monitor will not add any additional load..... it will just look better. The GPU will not be "forced" to render at 120 FPS just because the monitor is refreshing that quickly.
In fact one vote for the 1080p 120hz monitor is that most cards will be much more likely to actually display at 120+ at such a low resolution(by comparison), but if he was running a 1440p monitor at 120hz chances are he would need nearly twice as much graphics hardware.
Seeing the GTX 690 the OP has, if I had spent that much on a graphics card there's no way in hell I would settle for 1080p vs 1440p, just because one will push that 1000$ card to it's limit, and the other will not.(both at 120hz respectively)

Read the post before yours, it's been covered.
And yeah you need serious hardware to keep up such a high framerate, resolution and refresh rate.
