Help to configure a pc and monitor with a budget of 1500

[Nhio82]

Hi everyone. This is my first post....I'm not english, so forgive me for the grammar mistakes.
I wanted to buy a pc for gaming with a budget of 1500€ but first of all I wanted to focus about the monitor. So, the first question is: with a budget of 1500€, how much should I have to spend for the monitor? I would like to have a 27" ..... in particular I have read several good opinions about the Benq xl2720z (which costs about 420€) but I was wondering if with a limited budget of 1500€, 420€ is too much only for the monitor. Thank you very much and sorry again for my english.

Which country specifically?
1100euros is pretty decent computer.
Also anything else you need besides the monitor?

Thank you for your answer. Actually I have mouse, keyboard and an unused 128G SSD Samsung. I need all the rest. I am particulary attracted to the 21:9 aspect ratio. At the moment I am comparing some Lg monitors (29UM65 vs 29um67 vs 29um57). They are all under 300€.... Ops, I am italian

So a few things about the monitors:
1) for 1080p, above 24" actually makes the image degrade somewhat, as the pixel density is gets significantly worse beyond 24" for 1080p resolutions, but 27" monitors that support higher resolutions are also much more expensive.
2) 21:9 monitors have somewhat poor response times, and this can lead to "ghosting" in action games, where you see a slightly transparent afterimage of a moving object.
3) I chose a monitor that's gonna be the best performing for the best resolution that isn't overkill.

For the OS, you can get windows 10 for free if you're willing to be a beta tester: https://insider.windows.com/
But I also included it in the list, you may be able to find a better price elsewhere.
