Hey everyone,
We are having local sale where I'm from and it is just about to end in a few hours. I was asked by a family member to build them a system and the main requirements for the system was that they wanted a monitor that had amazing display and good eye care. They will be mainly using this PC to watch YouTube videos and send emails. In this situation I believe they are wanting something along the lines of a 1440p-2k experience. Would I be able to build something that caters to their needs with just an entry level cpu (R3 2200g, I3 8100)and decent gpu (Rx 570, 1060 3gb) ? 
The time window on the sale is very short and I have been notified late notice. Any help would be great!

You should be fine. This is a great time to build a PC!!!! :D 

However I am not sure why you are wanting a 1440p display if all theyre watching is YT videos and sending emails. I recommend you pick up a 1080p IPS display for that. The IPS will give a vivid colorful experience with great viewing angles :)  I created a part list so you can get a general idea. 

Also the spec you mentioned are overkill for the type of task you claim they will will be doing. Btw if you still want 1440p I found a cheap 1440p panel for 160 bucks on Newegg. https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16824009969&ignorebbr=1&nm_mc=AFC-C8Junction&cm_mmc=AFC-C8Junction-PCPartPicker, LLC-_-na-_-na-_-na&cm_sp=&AID=10446076&PID=3938566&SID=

Thank you man! Do you think that the 580 can do 4k too?

Certain Games but not a whole lot. The XB1X has the graphical equivalence of a 580 and it can play a few games at native 4k. But the 580's purpose was for 1440p and 1080p.
