[SOLVED] Had a build in mind, but not sure if it's worth it

[Nate_30]

Hi everyone. Recently, I received a decently beefy bonus from my job, so I started planning for a high end gaming build. My budget for the PC is 1500 dollars, and I had the perfect build in mind, however, I'm now somewhat discouraged. The GPU this build has is the MSI GeForce RTX 2070 8GB, and the CPU would be an Intel Core i5 9600K. The problem isn't with the actual system, it's with the monitors. I currently have two Acer H236HL's, and have been using them for quite some time, but I'm not going to buy an expensive build only to have to dish out another 600+ dollars just for a new single monitor. So my question to the community is, would it be worth it to make such an expensive build while using the same model of Acer monitor? Here's the full build just in case that matters. Thank you for taking the time to read, and hopefully reply!

Intel Core i5 9600K Processor
MSI GeForce RTX 2070 8GB Graphics Card
ASUS Prime Z390-A Gaming Motherboard
Corsair Vengeance LPX 16GB DDR4 RAM 3000
EVGA 600 BQ 80+ Bronze Power Supply

What do you play?

You might get a far better experience building a mid range PC and going with a single High Refresh/G(Free)Sync Monitor for FPS games/ fast paced games

What kind of monitor would you recommend to go along with the build I posted? Because I might be able to squeeze a little more money into the budget by a few hundred by selling the two monitors I currently own. I found a list of G Sync compatible monitors, and the Acer XFA240, the AOC G2590FX and the ASUS VG278Q seem to fit pretty well.
