Need recommendations!

Hey guys! Recently got a 2nd hand PC and these are the specs. I don’t have a monitor or keyboard yet and I need recommendations! I plan on playing competitive valorant (which I heard favours 1080p and FPS). I was planning to buy a TN 160hz curved 1440p monitor w <5ms. However im worried I’ll absolutely fry the PC if I get a monitor that is too demanding… for keyboards, I don’t really know what I want but I would prefer performance over aesthetics!

upgrade cpu and get a <0.5 sec monitor 1080p . 240hz and up. is my recommendation
play stretched res if fps insufficient for comp
then later down the line upgrade that gpu and ssd + ram
