Current build for 2015

I usually play League of Legends, but I step up and play games like Battlefield 4, Metal Gear Ground Zeroes, ArcheAge, Blade and Soul. Basically, these games are quite dependent on high specs.

My range for a GPU would be about.. $200ish
Use the link above to view my current PSU and other parts.
I'd prefer places from Micro Center and/or Newegg, since Micro Center is half an hour from where I live.

I would prefer a GPU that is NVIDIA based because I well.. stuck with NVIDIA for a long time. Haven't been an AMD person.

Will I overclock? I will eventually now that I have a well air-ventilated case and 6 120mm/140mm fans at 1000+RPM. Not into the water cooled since the maintenance is too real for me. SLI is a big fat no for me, I absolutely despise it.

My monitor resolution is a 1360x768 always refreshing at 60hz

Is the current GPU (MSI GTX960 Gaming 2 OC) good? I have heard it is classified as a mid-range, and I like it cause it is a low-powered GPU. Benefits me cause of the PSU I just recently brought (430W).

Your link just goes to the start page for build selection. You probably have your specs stored on your PC as a cookie.
But the GTX 960 would be a good choice for a lower powered PSU. And at 720p resolution, it would do play any game at max/near max settings.

Took me a while to take into account, I believe the link should show my specs now. Sorry about that ^^;;
I won't be going further than 720p res since everything in this house is all 720p, but at a larger res (my TV for example, on which I sometimes hook it up to when I use a controller).

That looks like a good build. The GTX 960 is a low powered/high performance card. That's the only reason you can get by with a 430W PSU. Is there some reason why you are buying such a low powered PSU? I see you are looking for all sorts of discounts and rebates. Remember, it will take up to 2 months before you see any rebates. And then only in the form of a pre-paid debit card.

It doesn't matter how large the display is. What matters is its resolution. The greater the rez, the greater the number of pixels that the card has to render per frame.

Ah, thanks for the reply! The reason for getting a 430W PSU is because it was well.. cheap.. and I hoped to stick with a EVGA 750Ti SC for quite a while, and thought my 300W PSU (old one) wasn't enough because i had some hiccups from OC a bit more. I could went for 500W, but Micro Center didn't have one in store, and I was setting this PC up last weekend, so yeah.. kept with it for now. I didn't expect rebates, I don't mind the wait, as long as it can help me stream and play the games I want at the best settings possible.

Ah I see.. my TV capped playing Battlefield 4 at 45 FPS, then my actual monitor is around 59-60 FPS. That explained a lot since I thought 720p is quite universal. Meaning that if the monitor is 720p, it will render pixels at 720p through all rez.
