First, you are not going to get a G-Sync monitor for £250 unless you go second hand.

£250 is a fairly low budget in the land of monitors, therefore you will have to go with a VA or TN panel. I assume you want a higher refresh rate... why get a 1070 if you are not going to be gaming!

You need to do some research, but here is a link to monitors for consideration... I might be inclined towards the Samsung C24FG73, or maybe one of the MSI Optix monitors.
