Require assistance choosing monitor

ParzivalFX

Hello Everyone, I need help choosing a monitor for my setup. I will be sitting around 1.5-2 feet away from it, I have about 27 inches of horizontal space and about 18 inches of vertical. My setup will either have an rx480 and i5 7600k or a gtx1060 and an i5 7600k, and I will be using this for both gaming and productivity. I absolutely do not want an ultrawide and would love to have either a tn or va panel, with the maximum refresh rate. I normally prefer refresh rate over crisp images and have 100-300 USD. I am not sure whether or not to get the 480 w/ freesync, or the 1060 w/out. I also would like either a 24 or 27 inch. Here are some of the monitors I have looked at so far. 

264$ monitor w/freesync 1080p

289$ monitor w/freesync 1080p

209$ monitor w/freesync 1080p

339$ monitor w/out freesync 1440p

 

Are there any others I haven't mentioned here?

Any help is welcome

Thanks!

I saw somewhere that the best way to decide on an ultrawide is to go and actually see one. I went to a best buy and it didnt feel much better or worth more than a normal monitor
