So i want to build a computer with an r9 270x, and yeah suggest me the other parts, and is intel's hyper threading worth the extra money? or am i better off with amd's more cores? and total excluding Monitor, case, keyboard, mice, etc, should be around 600 odd USD, also exclude the price of the r9 270x, since I'm dead set on it, also suggest a good 1080p monitor with very sharp response times and overall greatness at a reasonable price, also exclude this from the 600`$s
thanks in Advance
