Hi, I'm building my first low budget gaming pc as my former laptop (lenovo y500) has died.

Half of the parts I'm buying second hand off of a friend, and half I'm buying new.

The parts from a friend are:

Case: Cooler Master Elite 430
Motherboard: MSI z87 g41 pc mate
Cpu: intel core i5 4670k
Cpu cooler: cooler master hyper 212 evo
Ram: 16gb corsair xms3 (4x4gb)

He's selling this to me for £200

And the parts I'm buying:
Graphics card: Gtx 960 4gb
Harddrive: Seagate 1TB SSD
Powersupply: 500W EVGA 100-W1-0500

Total: £493.34 and I still need a monitor and a wireless dougle/Bluetooth card.

Will it work?
Any recommendations on monitors and dougle/Bluetooth cards?

Thank you :)

Should work fine. You can also get the latest gen new for a little more.

The ASUS VC239H is a pretty decent budget IPS monitor:
