Budget in DKK would be around 15000-17000 DKK I think. That is excluding a monitor :)

As for monitors really depends on your budget as well there. I got a few in mind, but you get the features you can afford.

That PC looks just right for me :)

As for the monitor, I want something that is worthy of the computer (144hz and 1440p), maybe around 6000 DKK?
Been looking at PG279Q, but if the stories about backlight bleed are true, is it worth it?

Just a headsup the list says "Samsung 850evo 500GB". But the price and link is for 1TB. I originally put a 500GB in the build. But was under 15k, and i personally prefer SSD for games as well, most take advantage of them by faster load times. I got 2x 500GB.

It's a great monitor, got the PG278Q myself, I saw them side by side, and colors are vibrant enough, the 8-bit TN panel used in the 278Q is way better than normal TN panels. Why TN panel have a bad reputation color wise.
Indeed, the panel used in these IPS 165hz 1440p monitors suffer from backlight bleed, some worse than others.

I personally saw the PG278Q and PG279Q side by side before purchase. The slightly better color accuracy and better viewing angles was not worth the extra 1200DKK for me. I personally only sit straight infront my monitor so that wasn't a selling point for me. Also the PG278Q has faster response time. Even tho is really not noticeable.

Sorry for the slow reply, been busy and without internet for a while.

I have ordered the computer with one modification, I bought an NVMe SSD 512 GB and a 2 tb HDD.

I also bought the PG278Q because it is similar enough and I don't look at it from weird angles :)

Thank you so much for your help <3

Sorry for not posting something for a very long time, been very busy (Hospital).

I have now used it for a couple of days and I think it has some issues. I get micro stutters in almost every game (worst in Rocket League) sometimes even affecting Discord.

I will try to post a picture of setup soon :)
