You can actually use PCPartpicker to shop for monitors too!

 

Here's a 1080P 144hz filter for monitors under $250

The Asus VG248QE is a tried and true standby, thats a bit old these days but still gets the job done

You can also get versions with IPS panels which have better color reproduction and Free Sync technology built in

Around that price point, there are some compelling options but the #1 problem you will run in to is ghosting artifacts. I currently am using a monitor from around that price point, the MSI Optix MAG241C (144hz 1080p curved monitor, about 23in) and yes, it does indeed do 144hz and FreeSync, but in quite a few games such as GTA, I notice significant ghosting. In GTA, I notice it as a yellow smudge behind an object that is moving. 

 

Here's a link if you want to see it

 

**EDIT** 

This monitor also works with G-Sync, although it is not technically on nvidia's recommended list. Most programs run fine in full screen or borderless windowed, but there are some GPU accelerated programs, like Paint.net and Handbrake (video encoding/transcoding) that cause stuttering and flickering.

That's what I'd get - https://www.amazon.com/AOC-24G2-Frameless-Adjustable-Guarantee/dp/B07WVN6CWT

Had one and somewhat regretting selling it. But I have a AOC Agon AG272FCX6 and it's mostly on par. Though I'm not really a methodical reviewer, just a user.

It is not g sync certified. But is gsync compatible.
