Don't get Windows OS from reddit, a few bros here reported their copys deactivated.

As for monitor, get U2414 instead of the glossy one you selected.

Oh anyway for GPU, I suggest a blower style cooler like the "Reference" Palit GTX970 or the Asus GTX970 Turbo

Avoid Crucial BX200. It's garbage. Get the 850 EVO or Ultra II instead.

well you have to consider that at the pretty low price compared to the EVO in most stores, it is still ok

unless you take Lazada into account

Zotac premium 240gb is back in lazada for $119+3 thou, maybe he can get that and use a discount code?

Lazada was what I was thinking about. At the moment you can get a 250GB 850 EVO at 110 pretty easily. It has more than double the performance of the BX200.

well yes, Lazada has the Zotac for cheaper... if you have knowledge on how to build I would say go for it

however, I am making the assumption that the TS (or people who ask in general)
-might be inexperienced
-might want to get all at one shot

yes PC building is not hard, but I don't think everyone who comes here has the time to learn it

and yes i have seen the benchmarks as well
