Hi I'm looking to finish off my build. It is currently at $1300 and i want to keep it at about $2000 but im looking for a Monitor & GPU for $700 all together. I want the monitor to be 120hz with 1080p & for the gpu to be able to handle 120fps stable on most games and upcoming games.
Thank You

To put it squarely, you're going to have to buy a $700 graphics card to be able to sustain 120fps on today's and upcoming games. A 780 ti or a Titan would maybe (most likely not) be able to sustain 120fps on ultra settings. I just don't see you getting a monitor and a gpu that sustains 120fps for $700.

For the monitor I dont know a hundred percent about what to get. For the gpu get the 780ti for SURE with your gigantic build. Or if you want a slightly better monitor get the gtx 780 and a nice monitor. And get this psu instead because nzxt doesnt make high quality psus http://pcpartpicker.com/part/seasonic-power-supply-ss850am For the motherboard, in my opinion the asus sabertooth would be a better choice. Also for the case, I would get the nzxt h440 but that is optional if you want to get it.

The 780ti probably would achieve closest to anything on the market to get 120 frames on ultra, but it would be a lot more cost effective just to get a 60Hz monitor and the 770/780, you would save quite a bit and the GPU would handle the games easily on Ultra, and yet the monitor at 60Hz still looks sharp, vivid and good.

^^^ Probably a better solution...
