My recommendation would be the second however if you need a setup then you need a setup. Also please remember to select a best answer.

AMR Radeon is right. You dont need to spend $1500 for a no overclocking core i5 build. But a SSD is worth if you have money enough. ddbtkd456 recommend that you buy a no IPS monitor. IMHO you should try to get a better one. GTX 770 2 GB and HD 7970 3GB are both great choices for video cards. HD 7950 and HD7970 are just a little more cost effective than a GTX 770 right now.

True they are however this monitor has a 1ms response time along with 3 outputs. The Radeon's will always be more effective then a GTX, however I recommend a GTX so they do not have any surprises in the future when they crossfire and get the micro-shutter effect.
