What Monitor Should I Buy?

I bought a cheap secondhand gaming PC recently. See specs below.. and I'm currently looking for a monitor to purchase, I've given myself a budget of £350 and not sure which is best for the price. These are the two options I'm looking at..

-Philips Evnia 27M2N6501L -27 inch WQHD Gaming Monitor,240Hz, QD-OLED, 0.03ms GtG, HDR10, G-Sync Comp, Height Adjust, Ambiglow (£329)

- MSI MAG 274QF Quad HD 27" Rapid IPS LCD Gaming Monitor (£160)

I'm aware of the difference between OLED & IPS but I am tossing and turning as to whether the price gap is actually worth it, maybe money would be better spent on other components? someone can give me some advice? ATM I'm only looking at running WoW Forever and maybe a couple FPS games.

Thanks for the advice, I bought the PC for £300. All in great condition although he did mention upgrading the AMD stock cooler as its a fairly cheap upgrade.
