windows on reddit's microsoftsoftwareswap completes this build in your budget.

Although it was unclear, do you need monitor within the budget as well?

Thanks rapture I might buy this at the end of the week. I might just use my old one for a little while. Do you have any suggestions on a good monitor?

Any preference monitor wise?

24'' - 27'' - 32'' ?
1080p - 1440p - 2k - 4k ?
60hz - 144hz ?
1ms - 2ms - 5ms?
TN - IPS?

Is good color reproduction a must for you?
Is monitor speed a must for you?
Do you plan on gaming more than you read or watch movie?

There are really only 2 good model in the 1080p - 144hz range.
BENQ XL2411Z
And
LG 24GM77

I personally own the LG model and it's really really good for the prices.
Just go with the cheapest one in your country.

The VG248QE on paper is a good choice but it lack any kind of Motionblur reduction.
The VG and the BENQ have the exact same panel while the LG has a better quality panel.

I wouldn't recommand the Asus unless you're on a very strict budget.
