Looking for a 1080p Monitor for my son

Merry Xmas All

For his present we bought components and built up an 16GB Ryzen 3600 rig for my son using my 1070ti as his GPU
With some money he has received he would like to buy a monitor for it. He only has £200 to play with. Can anyone recommend a good monitor to go with that rig. He likes playing CS:Go and COD type games it that matters?

At 1080p he will be more CPU limited, ideally that GPU is better suited to a 1440p monitor.

Great thanks for the advice. Is that possible with a £200 budget?

There was a sale/offer other day, even b grade but I would not like to play today's Panel Lottery.

I would assume (if you did not know) you/he wants the monitor to be at least G-Sync compatible?

This seems to get.good ratings and is at the cheaper end of the scale - a 1440p, freesync, 27" monitor for just over 200 here -

It's TN panel so colour/viewing angle suffer a bit but for twitchy FPS games it should be great as it has excellent response time.
