Hi guys I want to ask you will this PC play future 2 year games at HIGH and my native 1366x768 resolution with atleast 40fps? And are all the parts ok?
MOBO: ASUS F2A55-M LK2 /FM2
CPU: Athlon II x4 760k 3.8GHz 4MB
RAM: 1 x 4GB DDR3 1600 A-DATA (I will add 1 x more in future.)
GPU: Sapphire R7 260x 1GB GD5 OC
PSU: Thermal Master 500W TM-500-PSAP-F1 (It comes with CM 250 Series case.)

Sorry, but I cant add links to the parts.
And I wont buy new monitor. I have Philips 191EW 19'' with native resolution 1366x768! What do you think about that mobo? Also what do you think about that CPU and GPU combo? I with that its good and there wont be bottleneck.

Go with Fortron HE 500, else you will get into trouble with not providing enough power to the components.

You GPU is a 115-120W card on max load and will require approx. 10-12 Ampere.

And for the Case, its your call, but go with a decent size Case which will provide you room for components and have better airflow. Good luck.

Hopefully the CPU wont bottleneck the GPU. You will be fine with med/high settings at that resolution.

If you are on a 64 bit OS, then add 4GB of RAM, else 4GB is enough, no need to add more RAM.

But I don't trust your PSU, get a better one. You will need a 6 pin PCI-E connector to power the GPU. Good luck.

Thanks for the answer. I was thinking the same about that PSU and after your post I think to go with CORSAIR VS450 450W EU and SH-901 case from the unknown brand SHENHA. Will the PSU be enough for the PC?

For case I will go with Shenha SH-901 and the other PSU I can get is Fortron HE-400 / 400W .. So now I have to choose between Thermal Master 500W, CORSAIR VS450 and the Fortron HE-400 and I think that the Fortron is the best choice between those because its 80+ certified. Will those 400w be enough to power the other PC components without problems?

I have the exact combo as you have, not sure you went with these parts or planned on a different build.
Even in 1080p I play latest games in textures on high and the rest of the settings on medium.
The AMD 760K wil run 4 x 4,1 Ghz in turbo frequency.
I do have 8 gb of ram though.
For a more future proof 1080p gameplay I have to upgrade my gpu next year, planning on going for a R9 270X the least.
Good luck on your build :)

To OP. I think that CPU is fine, i use it with an R9 270. In fact, thats a lie. i use the 750k. yours is slighter better. It wont bottleneck the 260x, because it doesnt bottleneck my GPU. And for your resolution i would think it would be fine, my GPU plays 1080p at ultra settings (sometimes without MSAA or such on certain high end games) to get 60 FPS

I didnt check your budget for PSU, but i do know i got a great 80+ gold certified PSU, 650w for £65.. In my opinion, dont go cheap where you think it doesnt matter. from what ive heard a solid PSU is very important, keeps your parts alive in instances of power cuts etc. You wont want a dead PC because of a cheap PSU
