With RTX2060, maybe you can divert some resources for a better monitor. At least 27"? For Dell, try to aim for their U series.

Im abit off budget now.. any recommendation where to reduce! Haha

Do you game a lot? If so so maybe can hunt for used 1060 or 1070. Save about $200-300 instantly and invest more in your peripherals instead.

1060 performanec is quite decent for medium settings. Just dont aim for full 16x aa all the way.

There is a SE2719HR at $259. It will be going on sale on Lazada for the mid year sale! It may drop $20 - $30? You may prolly need to pay $20-30 more from the $209 23inch Dell.

You should really consider a bigger screen if the price looks good to you!

For work, maybe get 1440p instead and aim for at least 27". You dont need a good graphics card for this.

Ah right guess it does sell out fast. You can check out Aorus x570 Elite. It's a pretty good mobo too for that price.

Pull the trigger with MSI B550 Gaming Carbon WIFI... hopefully is a good choice!

Hope you didn't buy the monitor yet.

For image and video editing you would want a wide gamut monitor.
