I want to build new pc gaming desktop around February 2014 once I finished my finals exam. First I already have 8gb ram (4gbx2), hard disk, keyboard, I live in Malaysia so the price may different abit but it's okay. This is the cheapest I can found in here GTX760 Twin Frozr Gaming from MSI.

And one more thing will this card run smoothly with this monitor Benq 24" GL2460HM ? At least ultra/high settings. (Try to quote me the best 900 usd based on gtx 760 without including this monitor price. thank you. )

Do you want an AMD build or Intel? (I'd prefer an Intel as the temperature in Malaysia is slightly high and an Intel setup may be better)? If you want an Intel rig then I reckon you go with the i5 3330 @ 3.0Ghz (If you're not into OCing) or an i5 3570k (If you're into OCing). Since you already have the peripherals, HDD and RAM, I'd say going for an Asus Maximus V Extreme motherboard. According to the Indian prices (assuming they're similar in Malaysia too) this would fit within your $900 budget and you may save some $$$ too! Also, I'd suggest buying the parts from a shop instead of buying them off the internet as prices are usually cheaper, also bargaining is possible. As far as an AMD build is concerned, you should go for say an FX8350 as the processor and preferably an Asus motherboard ( I apologise for not knowing which one, but you can do your research :p) However, keeping in mind the temperatures, I wouldn't suggest it. Hope this helps!

Yep! It's good to have a nice motherboard... However, if you feel that the mobo is expensive, you can look at the Asus Maximus V Gene or the Asus P8Z77-V motherboard. However, I'd suggest going for a good motherboard as it would be better when you shall chose to upgrade. Also, is there any specific reason you want a 760? If no then there are many other graphics cards which will provide slightly lower fps but will be a lot cheaper. Also, I wouldn't bother buying an expensive cabinet unless you are going to do water cooling or some other things. For the PSU, I'd recommend going for a branded one which is at least 600W (preferably 650W).

Because I think GTX 760 is the best for performance money value so far although R9 270X is much cheaper and offer quite same performance but before this I already have amd card (3850). So time to change into Nvidia card for now.
Nahh I'm not interested in those hardcore motherboard RoG etc by Asus. Just a normal motherboard is okay. :)

Then go for something like mine! It's a Gigabyte H61M-S1! It's dirt cheap! Set me back only about $50! It has one slot for a graphics card, two for RAM and 6 SATAs i guess. Also, it feel pretty durable... It's your choice though!

Also, what all applies to the Western countries may not apply to us Asians ( At least my friends and me) so don't rely entirely on benchmarks and grab a friend who has these specs and ask him for his experience. Also, you can find fellow Malaysians on some forum and ask them about their opinions and experiences as they will tell you which component is best for your country. Don't aim to spend all the money you have as you never know when you may need to spend t on something else. Although I may sound weird and miserly but I'm telling you this based on my experience. Cheers!
