If you can afford a little more, I'd go for an Asus MG278Q and a PB277Q.

If you are paying for Windows 10 in that budget, just install it for free and put the money towards the monitors, then pay for Windows when you have the money.

What is this for? With a dual $300 monitor setup, I'd assume 1440p, and that 1060 3gb isn't running that. Assuming this is for gaming.
