For the monitor, I recently got the MSI G272QPF and have been really happy with it. It’s 1440p, 165hz (over displayport, 144hz on hdmi and it can be overclocked to 170hz in the monitor settings panel, and I haven’t noticed any issues), has a 1ms response time and HDR all while costing about $200-220 (I got it for $200 at microcenter). It also looks great!
First build in 2 decades, sanity check + monitor recommendations
