That's $454.44,
Definitely don't need to go to the thrift store. Hahaha.
Are you allowed to move the desk to the middle of the room, so you can use a TV as a monitor.

$450 For serious pr0 gaming, the Viewsonic XG270 is best go-to as of late.
$300 For non-serious gaming + Movies, get something like Samsung 32-Inch CJG56 144Hz Curved
The Viewsonic has much higher motion clarity, but it's an IPS, contrast is low, blacks don't look very black, so overall the image will lack depth. But for hardcore gaming, motion clarity may be more important.
I must emphasize, you must be really serious about gaming to take an IPS panel. Otherwise, it's worse for every other usage scenario.
The Samsung is a VA panel, it has much deeper blacks, so images will look more 3 Dimensional and vivid, but it does not have the motion clarity of the Viewsonic.
NOT ALL IPS have good motion clarity, only the Viewsonic XG270,
There's an Acer model named XG270HU, that is NOT the same as Viewsonic XG270
If you can stretch your budget a bit to $600usd, $793cad, there's also the XG270QG, it's the higher end model with quantum dot and higher resolution than the vanilla XG270. again, this is a gaming IPS, bad contrast ratio, not great for movies, youtube.
