I'm moving away and a lot of my friends and I are getting a gaming pc. The problem is is that i only have 1000 dollars so far so this the build i want http://pcpartpicker.com/p/3qqxq but since i only have 720p monitor (at the moment) i wanted to know if i could do this http://pcpartpicker.com/p/3qqqJ and skip the GPU and get the 780 in 5 mouths or so. Me and my friends are going to play a lot of garry's mod and that's not demanding so... what should i do. I was thinking about getting a 750 for just those five mouths but i don't want to waste my money if im just going to be playing garry's mod, dayZ and other type games on 720p on high or medium.
