I ordered the PC online so it should be delivered in a few days, and I still need to chose a monitor. It's been more than 10 years since I had a PC capable of running games well, so I'm pretty psyched (goodbye, 30fps). The last games I played on PC were The Longest Journey and Final Fantasy XI 
I spent about 1100 (~1230$) for the components and the tower, and I'm left with 200 (~230$) for the monitor. Can I find a good monitor for that price ? I think 24" should be more than enough for me, 27" seems too big. Does the resolution need to go above 1920x1080 (I've seen some 1440p monitors) ?
I could go a little higher than 200 if it's absolutely necessary, though I still have to pick a mouse and a keyboard too, so any recommendations for that would also be appreciated ! (keeping in mind that I don't really need a gaming mouse or keyboard, as I'll mostly play with a 360 or Xbox One gamepad)
Also, noob question, will it be possible for me to play games on my TV while my S.O works on the monitor ?
It's gonna be tough for me to adjust, I've always been a console gamer, but I'm tired of playing at 30fps, and I just want to play the best versions available of games (can't wait to play MGS V and The Witcher 3). Still, I'll buy a PS4 and a One down the line for the exclusives though it can wait until some console revisions and more price drops (also, I'm broke).
tl;dr > Good PC monitor for about 200 (~230$) plz
