Its not the worst in the world. Went from a 24 inch 1200p to 27 inch 1080p and didnt hate it.
Anything above 24" for 1080p is a disgusting sea of visible pixels, and even 24" is barely tolerable.
If you don't need IPS, then the Dell S2719DGF is one of the best deals you can get when Dell is having a good sale, and it comes with really good support if you buy it through them.

It can often be had for $360 CAD or so during one of their frequent sales, so I'm sure you could get one for 300-320 USD. It's considered to be one of the better looking TN panels, and ticks the 27"/144hz/1440p boxes as well as Freesync.

Get an APC or Tripp Lite or Cyberpower to suit your budget. You don't need to go bananas with one...Amazon has a $55 unit with a 7 minute run time. It will be enough to give you time to shut the PC off. For sure don't get a cheap Chinesium one....the name brands are kind of dodgy as it is.

I’m confused so may be speaking incorrectly. Is the Corsair CPU cooler / radiator placed on the front? Isn’t the front supposed to be intake and the AIO placed on the top for exhaust? It has been 6 years or so since I rebuilt and it could be different now but it just looked odd to me.

Yeah, that fan setup might need some work, especially if the front of that case is solid and not meshed.

The Corsair 275R has two open slots all the way down both sides in the front. The case is setup to pull in air from the front via those slots and exhaust from the top and rear. Also the AIO is a H115i which has two 140s, so I couldn't top mount if I wanted too. But I did follow the case design. I was sitting at like 35-35 C idle. And it didn't go up much while running different benchmarks.
Edit: Sorry to be clear. The front fans are pulling through the radiator into the case, not pushing out. That's why you see the black frames.

The issue with it is you're blowing the heat from the rad back into the case to not only affect your GPU, but also the mobo and recyling some of the CPU heat back into it.
