You're spending far too much on the CPU. Get a better PSU, XFX, SeaSonic, Corsair AX/HX/TX. At LEAST a GTX 760 or 770 would be ideal. AMD counterparts work too if you prefer them. RAM is hopefully a 2x4GB kit, and as the thers have said, at least 1600 MHz, you'll ideally want CL7 as well. Triple agree with the 1080p monitor over the one you have chosen.

If the CPU was dropped to an i5 and the GPU bumped up to a 280x or gtx770, I would have considered it high end.
You PSU is not the best quality either. Your RAM is 1333mhz which is slow compared to high end RAM (this makes no real performance difference, but if building a high end computer you should get 1600mhz RAM on principle as it costs the same)

1. Go for 1080p display, if the text is too hard for you to read zoom to 150% in control panel, if you really want that 768p monitor then there's no need to change anything except the ram2. Change the RAM to 1600 MHz
He already built the system.
Then, as I say: Everything in that build is high-end except the PSU and RAM

But When i try to pick 1920x1080 resolution my MONITOR goes FUZZY it's hard to read letters. I already built this. I cant drop my cpu to i5-4670k.

But it says in the box FULL HD 1080p... Others says i should pick HDMI/PC not HDMI/TV... i tried to find it. But seems no such thing found.
(This is caused by your TV misinterpreting the (pixel perfect) PC signal as a (potentially terrible) normal TV/cable/dvd signal, therefore overscanning/underscanning and applying blurs. This only happens on HDMI, so switching to VGA or DVI is the easiest fix. Otherwise changing your TV settings or disabling HDMI audio can sometimes fix this issue.

It only allows lower-spec components to feel like they are better than they actually are... an i7-4770k looks considerably out of place next to all the lower spec components in the build.

i already tried switching cables Dvi to Vga or Dvi to Hdmi even Hdmi to Vga.... all doesn't work. Of course it does not. If you try shoving 1080p through a display that can only do 768p, the output gets re-scaled either by the GPU or display and becomes fuzzy. There is no magic way to avoid that. You could crop the screen but that would be a little silly; might as well run at the native resolution.

Thanks GUYS!!! Somehow i figure it out! I did this...
While on your Desktop choose 1366x768 that's ok! Because it's only your desktop.
But your games will change ur Resolution. If not Manually change it to 1980x1080.
I Bought today a Dvi to Hdmi Cable. And somehow it worked. So BIG THANKS to all of u!
And BTW the technician at PcExpress said u dont need to change ur PSU it's already "POWERFUL".
So what do u think should i take his advice or Change it?

You mean i should NOT get a 1 STICK 8GB RAM why? Please explain.Memory bandwidth.
Single channel: 64 bits x 1600MT/s / (8bits/byte) = 12.8GB/s peak memory bandwidth
Dual channel: 128 bits x 1600MT/s / (8bits/byte) = 25.6GB/s peak memory bandwidth
So, with single-channel memory, the CPU may waste up to twice as much time waiting for data.

I'm glad you got that sorted, as resolution problems on an LCD screen is a major headache.
RE: the PSU. If it's already installed and everything is running fine, with no random reboots, then keep it. Sure, there's a (very small) chance that it'll fail and possibly fry some components when it does. Most of the time when a PSU goes the symptoms are random reboots, bluescreens, and failure to start.
