A monitor for this build?

[Trojan_Pinata]

Hi everyone,
I'm looking for a monitor for my new build and honestly have no clue what I should get. I'm looking for something to match the build listed that won't break the bank. Thanks in advance.

Edit: Probably should have made this clear, my budget will be dependent on how much I have left after my build is done. I'm planning on a 100-250 USD monitor but did this for options.

What counts as "won't break the bank"? Meaning what's your budget for a monitor.

That build could run a 1440p, 144hz monitor but those are obviously expensive.

Depends what type of games you play and your budget.

if you play FPS's, go for a 2K TN monitor, 144hz, possibly with G-sync.
if you play games like Civ or Skyrim, go with a 2K or 4K IPS monitor, 60hz.

use PCpartpicker to find a specific model you like with those specs

Is there like a middle-man?
