ok. as for the games u playing which are the titles? cos some games are gpu dependent or cpu dependent or balance (will use up both cpu and gpu load), so once we know which games u playing, den we can spend more on either side or balance it out.

monitor wise will depends on the games u playing, if FPS, best get higher refresh rates; others any frame rates should be fine.
and beside that monitor breaks into a few different types. source for u to read : http://www.gamersnexus.net/guides/1890-panel-comparison-tn-ips-pls-va-crt

its seems like ur build goes abit compact size (Small form factors)

When I went to Convergent for rmaing corsair stuff last week I saw display/demo TT core v21 $45, looks new.

Leadex Silver 550W i think can go to $9x if get from lazada via distro with coupons like singlaznew (not sure if still working) and shopback.

The games you play not so GPU demanding. Might as well wait for gtx 1060 and see the benchmarks before deciding. I think the RX 480 can also support the games you play. Save $$$.
