Hi.

I need help building a build that costs approximately 2000$.
I would like to use Msi radeon r9 290x ligthning grapichs card.
I am gonna use this build for gaming League of legends, counter strike and I am going to hook up my Xbox One to the monitor. I am also going to be recording gameplay on this.
What I need in this build is a monitor and an OS.
I don't need an optical drive.

Please reply as quick as possible!

Thanks in advance:)

Different build that will also get the job done at pretty much the same performance.

Hi.
The sites that I will be using are Nrwegian sites, so some of the products such AS rosewill will not be avaible.
The sites I am going to be using are:

Komplett.no
Pcexpress.no

For the monitor I was Hoping to Get 2 hdmi's so I can hook up my Xbox one.
I hope you can do that:)
 
GTX 760 will be able to run LoL and Counter Strike on ultra without a single problem, but if you're looking to play other games on ultra, then no. That will be a job for GTX 780. In addition, it also depends on what resolution you want to run your games at
GTX 780: http://www.ncixus.com/products/?usaffiliateid=1000031504&sku=84058&vpn=03G-P4-2784-KR&manufacture=eVGA&promoid=1230

I do not recommend a 144Hz monitor as not many people can see the different between that and maybe a 120Hz monitor.
I recommend an IPS monitor for better picture quality for your video editing need.
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16824236335 you can get two of these if you can afford it, it's really high quality.
