How come your requirement for Battlefield and COD disappeared? Do you still want to play these games or do you just want to play CS:GO and DOTA 2?

If he's sure that he won't be playing any or much of the newer AAA titles at all, then a 750ti is more than sufficient to run the 2 games he listed.

Hehe sorry I edited . I wanted battlefield and COD but I'm afraid it'll be out of my budget and not be able to play the games smoothly if I use lower ends. Will the first set up you recommend ensure smooth game play with BF and COD?

And actually include monitor I don mind going up to 1.7k , money can always earn back slowly or save slowly

The first build is good enough to play BF and COD at max settings in 1080p smoothly while the second build is a cheaped out version of the first build without sacrificing performance. See you want which one.
