I'm a big advocate for the 360 controller. Native widows support is always a plus. $15 on Amazon.

From parsing your post, I can see 4 topics:
I'm going to address each of these individually:
---------------
I'm not playing PC as much as PS4 and I don't know why
Two words: access and comfort.
You come home from work, you plop down on your couch, you pick up your controller, push a button, and bam: you're in-game. That's the console experience. On PC, you have to boot up the computer, install updates, run Steam, etc. etc. etc. The process is pretty simple, but it feels unfamiliar to people used to a console experience.
The other part is your PC gaming setup is probably at your desk, where you're used to doing work, maybe have an uncomfortable chair, don't typically bring drinks or snacks, etc. In your mind, the couch is the designated "social/relaxation" space, and it typically has all the comforts and amenities for a proper gaming setup, whereas your PC space probably does not have those amenities by default.
The solution is twofold:
Always remember, though, that gaming should never feel like a chore. If you're not having fun PC gaming, then don't PC game! I know a lot of people on Reddit are fanatical about PC gaming, but, truth be told, everyone's different and has different gaming needs. THAT'S OK. Just because I have a ton of fun with it doesn't mean you have to too!
---------------------
Players in R6S are very different on PC than on PS4
The difference lies in the difference between a controller and a mouse/keyboard. A mouse/keyboard has a much higher skill ceiling to use, because a mouse can aim with a much higher speed/precision than a thumbstick. That difference is inherent and won't go away.
Unfortunately, the only solution to this is to get used to the difference. Learn yourself how to master the art of mouse aim. It's going to be different, and you're going to start out a beginner (as with any skill). That's completely okay. I've written a helpful guide in another thread on what best to do to improve with mouse aim (including a bunch of setup stuff that has NOTHING to do with practice!).
Fortunately, this is only an issue with shooter games; all other games should play exactly as you expect them to, exactly as they play on console! Did you know you can even use your PS4 controller on your PC? Better yet, invest in a wired Xbox controller, and most games will support it with NO additional setup!
---------------------
I don't have any friends that PC game
That's ok. Everyone starts here, including me.
I have discovered three IRL friends that will PC game with me consistently. I'm fortunate enough have gone to college in a field with a bunch of nerds, so it was a natural association for me.
But if you don't have that, you can make online friends! Here's how:
I cannot stress this enough. You will NEVER make proper online gaming friends without one. Headsets with microphones have a massive price range; find one that you're comfortable investing in, but definitely GET ONE.
The best game for this, in my opinion, by far, is Overwatch. It's teamwork-focused, objective-based, and designed to be anywhere on the spectrum between fun/social to serious/competitive. It has rewards systems in place for good social behavior, and people LOVE to be on-comms, even in casual modes!
Other good games are anything teamwork-focused, like R6S, Counter-Strike, TF2, DotA, and others.
If you're willing to lose your soul, you can also dip a toe into MMOs like World of Warcraft, Star Wars: The Old Republic, or EVE Online, but that will net you by far the best results in terms of making friends. I cannot, however, recommend MMOs to everyone, especially someone new to PC gaming and who most likely plays casually.
Bad games for this are individual-focused games like CoD, Fortnite, and PUBG. Even in team modes, not a ton of teamwork is involved, so comms are usually pretty dead.
Get on comms. Every single game. Even when no one else is.
Be friendly, nice, outgoing, etc. Socialize as if you were at a party and wanted to make friends; the same social principles apply. Sure, talk about strategy and stuff, but be positive and social. People will be attracted to that.
A lot of games will have "team finders" to put together teams in a way that's more user-focused than matchmaking. Overwatch has its "find a group", Destiny has DestinyLFG, Counter-Strike has FaceIT, etc. People using these tools will be WAY more likely to be social than "randoms" in matchmaking.
If someone invites you to their Discord channel, ACCEPT! This can be a gateway to meeting lots of fun new people who want to play with you. Discord is probably the most powerful tool for making you friends; the difficulty is that you need an invite to join anyone's group, and people are sometimes exclusive about it.

I don't know if I have a good monitor or if I should upgrade or what
You say you have a 1080p 60Hz monitor. That is just fine for gaming, and 99% of gamers will be using exactly one of these. If you're comfortable with it, I see no reason at all to upgrade.
If you want to upgrade, though, check out Logical Increments' Monitor Guide. It has a TON of recommendations on what to buy.
Just so you know what to look for, here's a rough overview on monitors:
For gaming, I recommend getting a 144Hz monitor over getting a 4K (or 1440p) monitor. I personally have a 1080p 144Hz monitor, and I feel no need to upgrade.

Hope this helps!
