Looks really solid to me. Check the EVGA website for some deals they have going. Also worth checking the MSI website as they have some monitors on sale at the moment, might be outside your budget though. You have until Monday to shop around for the best deals as this Black Friday sale spills over to a Cyber Monday sale.

MSI Gaming Monitors: https://www.cyberpowersystem.co.uk/page/MSI/Game-Unlimited/

BLACK2018 for 5% off
Also qualifies for Assassin's Creed Odyssey: https://www.msi.com/Promotion/assassins-creed-odyssey-bundle

EVGA: https://eu.evga.com/products/featured-bundles.aspx

You'd get away with a GTX 1060 if you wanted to invest more in the monitor.

Also, consider ditching the 1Tb HDD; you can get a 480Gb SSD for £50
