[new rig] recommendations/comments

[mata_hippo]

hi guys, it's been awhile since i touched new hardware as you can see from my current rig on the right...

anyway, i went to mynextcom to play around and see how much i need and it seems like it would be around 1.5k...

MSI B85M-G43 + i5 4570 = $384
Xigmatek Dark Knight SD 1283 Night Hawk Edition = $59
optical drive = $25
wd 500gb = $96
Logitech K120 Keyboard = $12
MSI N760 TF 4GD5/OC + Seasonic M12II-620 80+ = $554
Superflower HX-600 Gold Modular + MSI R9 280X Gaming 3G = $529
Sharkoon T28 Blue = $84
G.Skill Standard 1600MHz 8GB(1x8GB) = $99

i need help with the monitor cuz i really duno which 23"/24" is better/decent/good...

i have spare speakers/mouse, that's why they are not in the list...

you may also notice most parts are distributed by corbell, not that i'm their fan but because they are located in the north like me so in case *touchwood* anything bad happens it's less frustrating...

please advise if there are better/cheaper options! thanks in advance!

Monitor ah. Dell 2312 ips loh. Widely recommended.

Get 2x4 GB ram better bah.

U running > 1 monitor? If only one monitor, choose a cheaper gtx 760 bah.

Add a 128gb of SSD to ur list. Then u go and ask them to quote. Shld be able to bargain down the price imo.
