Monitor itself will not impact the performance of the PC itself.

On the other hand, without SSDs, proper installation of the latest drivers for these componets are crucial:

1. Motherboard chipsets
2. Graphics card
3. Network adapter (if there is any)
4. Sound card or sound chip on the motherboard.
5. Other peripherals.

By default, Windows 7, 8.1, 10, or even XP all support most legacy hardware with some basic drivers. If a piece of hardware is released at least few months before the OS is released, there is a good chance that the driver for the hardware is included in the OS itself.

The weakest link of your components that have direct impact of performance is the 1TB hard drive. All other components are great and fast. Try to get a SSD and copy the system drive, i.e., C: to the new SSD if the SSD is large enough. You will see significant improvement. I upgraded to SSD about 3 years ago, and there is absolutely no way I'd use a hard drive as the system drive anymore.

With proper drivers and also BIOS settings, even hard drives can run smoothly if the drives are not heavily accessed.
