Well, I live in Mexico but I think here is a good page for support and suggestions and the monitor I'm planning for a QHD or is better FHD with 120 hz?

Well you basically can't buy GPUs right now in most places, assuming that's true, probably just get a Ryzen APU PC with a 1080p 75Hz IPS free-sync display, that one's free-sync over HDMI looks like

Motherboard may need a BIOS update

 

Then sometime down the line you can toss in a GPU and be fine with the CPU's performance for the most part.
