Hi all, I'm trying to assemble my first desktop. Purpose is mainly to watch HD movies, Youtube, gaming (dont need max settings, not extreme hardcore gamer) like AC4. Good graphics is definitely a plus because I want my desktop to last as long as possible.

I have researched most of the computer parts but am a little unsure about some components:

Mobo: Gigabyte H87-D3H
CPU: Intel i5-4670 (3.4ghz)
RAM: Corsair Vengeance 1600mhz (4gb x 2)
CD: LG 24x DVD-Writer SATA
SSD: Samsung 840 Evo 120gb
HDD: Seagate 1TB 7200rpm

Things I am unsure:
Monitor: 21-23 inch, matte, low ms (5ms or lower), any brand that is decent
GPU: Looking at Gigabyte GTX760 OC 2GB currently, but I'm not sure if I should wait for 860 to arrive..
OS: Win 7 or Win 8.1
PSU: Coolermaster 600/650W enough?
Case: Have no idea about casing
Wifi: Do I need a wifi card?

My budget is $1,500 all in. I have keyboard, mouse, speakers already.

Appreciate any form of help, thanks and have a nice day!
