^ That is a good config...
See if your supplier has HD 5770...
The HD 5770 will be slower than the 4890, but for your resolution, even the 5770 would suffice...and also it is DirectX 11, consumes less power and gives out less heat...
And if you want to try overclocking, it is highly advisable that you get an aftermarket CPU cooler - CM Hyper 212+ -> Very large so might not fit in all the cases...
Sunbeam CCTF 92MM -> Smaller and will fit in smaller cases too...
