Onboard video for the time being.

An i3 is superior to Kaveri. Even this would be better if the OP would be willing to deal with less performance for a bigger monitor.

No I have not used it. There are definitely better monitors out there, I was trying to give you the best performance, and upgrade path, first. If anything, use the monitor as a placeholder, until you can get a better one. Another option is to look around in local stores for used, or clearance deals, for a monitor.

That is a seriously powerful card, get it. Not as good as some other stuff, but for that price, you may as well buy two!

That is an awesome deal. Go for it.

Don't get that monitor. Please, just wait a little long, get an Acer G236HLHbid. It will last you longer. It won't fall apart, or have dead pixels (too often).

Nice build, the only thing you could save on is the Case and power supply. Bad news though; you left out the operating system.

Around £50 more, but you buy a monitor like a pievce of furniture a good friend of mine often says. If you buy cheap crap now, you'll be looking at cheap crap in 5 years. You buy good now, it's still good enough in 5 years. It hurts you eyes less for a better monitor, and it's IPS.

You don't want to spend under a hundred quid on a monitor. Make some sacrifices, expand your budget even but don't do it. Low quality crap.

Fine, lowest I'd recommend is an LG
22MP55HQ-P

What do you want to play? You could be fine with something slightly lower.

Unless you want 70+fps on ultra bf4 with 8xaa you won't need that card and you could save half that money.

In that case, an R7 260x will do you. It comes with truea audio and 2 games from the never settle list free from AMD.

That should be perfect! I got you some decent peripherals included, and a better monitor. The power supply gives you 100W of headroom, a hexa core, and a great mid range GPU. Hope this helps.
