WFH setup for Virtual SA 21

Wondering what should I get for my WFH set-up as a virtual IB SA. Currently have an HP Spectre (15.6" diagonal 4K UHD, AMOLED, i7, 16GB ram). I have a 20in. by 40inch desk to work with. 

Thinking about getting a 27inch monitor. Would I also need a keyboard and a mouse to work efficiently? Ideally would like a monitor under $200. 

Any suggestions for monitor/keyboard/mouse?

I had worked in all the three different variations (w/out, 1monitor 2 monitor) at least one but two also helped me a bit. Minimum is one monitor and a good chair (15hours/day your back will hurt if you don't have a decent chair). Said that I also have friends who completed the SA with only the laptop and still got the return offer (S&T not ibd)
