As long as the 780 supplies 60Hz(which it will, as it's a 780) for any game that you play at 1600x900, there should be no tearing issue. Remember to turn VSync on.

Monitors dont cause tearing, Your computer not being able to produce screens as fast as your monitor refreshes them causes tearing.
At that resolution with that graphics card+Processor,i dont see you having trouble holding 60fps vSynced though.
So you shouldn't see tearing.

You could also alter your build and have the money for a new monitor. Do you plan on overclocking? If so, you'll want an after-market cooler.

I'm also not sure about that HDD. WD Green drives are normally for data drives rather than system drives because they are slower.

you can get a cheaper motherboard like the z87-a for $70 cheaper and the only difference would be 2 less sata slots
