Thank you for the suggestion :p. The thing is I'm buying the parts from a shop from my country cause they are really cheap and good. So I couldn't find that monitor, but I found something else :
Is this good? :p

Salut Alin,

Based on what you have, and the change in monitor, I would recommend that you switch the HDD for the beginning, since the WD Green is not very good for gaming. Go for WD Blue or Black, or the Seagate Barracuda.
And a question regarding the RAM. Is it a 1x8Gb, or 2x4Gb? It is highly recommended that you go for 2x4 GB for dual channel and better speed.

Overall, you have a really sweet build, and you will have a lot of fun with it for the next years.

On a side-note - what shop in Romania are you getting this from?
This would be a good thing for me to know, because I`m not updated on the prices of different shops in our country.

Hey ! :D
So, I changed the HDD to the Seagate Barracuda and about the ram. I will get 1x8192MB for a reason : I want to upgrade in the future, to get more of those and get a total of 32GB at some point.
And I am getting the parts from azerty.ro
In my country we don't have USD or EURO we got another kind of money
Its called ''lion'' XD
And 1 EURO = 4.5 lions
And 1 DOLLAR = 3.3 lions
So have fun trying to figure out the prices in euros or dollars xd

Buna Alin,

I`m also from Romania, just away for a few years. So I`m all to familiar with the "lions" :D

I initially went for 2x4Gb, and half a year later added 2 more sticks, so now I have 16Gb. I didn`t need it, I just wanted to.
I don`t think in the next few years you`ll need more than 16Gb of RAM to be honest. And until you add one more stick, you`ll have a speed penalty due to the single-lane RAM stick.

If you want, you can PM me with some pictures of your build once it`s done :D
I`m already jealous even without seeing it :)

Oh XD .So that's why you start with ''Buna, Alin'' then you continue in English. :p. I'll make sure to send you some pictures after I buy the system. But it might take a while. I think I'll buy it either in winter, either in spring :p.

If you have some money, check for Black Friday sales, since you might get the parts you want cheaper.
