What sort of games does he play? Any 1080p 60Hz monitor will do, but if he played competitive games he might want a high refresh rate monitor.

For the online games like OW & CSGO a 144Hz monitor would be nice. What CPU does he have?

It completely comes down to BUDGET. The card can even handle a 4K, 60Hz monitor but that's almost certainly too costly.

A 1080p, 60Hz monitor is fairly cheap though I recommend at least the following:

a) IPS (not TN), and
b) 6ms or lower response time
c) 22" to 24"

144Hz has its pros and cons. Mainly you likely can't output 144FPS in most games, at all times, so you'd likely want to disable VSYNC. That causes screen tearing, however that's less likely to be obvious on a high refresh monitor (with lower FPS values). The higher the Hz/FPS ratio the less obvious the tears are.

In some games you can enable Adaptive VSYNC (half refresh) which should cap to 72FPS VSYNC ON (but disable VSYNC below 72FPS). On a 144Hz monitor I'd use that for slow to medium-paced games such as Assassin's Creed (then tweak game settings so you maintain 72FPS about 95% of the time so occasional drops don't cause added stutter just some screen tearing).

I'll post this and then link some monitors below.

Just EXAMPLES:

1) 1080p, 60Hz, IPS ($125USD):

2) 144hz versions appear to be TN panels only (color not as good, washed out more off angle too):

Some are fairly good, but not as good as most IPS (all TN and all IPS are not equal).

3) 2560x1440, IPS, 60Hz:

That's $270 so probably out of budget, however the extra resolution is nice for the general DESKTOP, and some games look much better than others at higher resolutions.

You can also get a larger monitor without noticing the pixels. The above monitor is 25", and it's a very nice monitor. I bought it for my sister after much research.
