    PROBLEM SOLVED.
     
    Turns out I just had to connect my HDMI cable to my graphics card and click a button on the monitor to HDMI input instead of D-Sub..
    Sorry for wasting all of your time..  :blush:
    Thanks a million for all your help and advice though

    Quite  a nice build But since you put an K CPU and a after market cooler, i'm guessing you're gonna OC If you are, then go with Haswell Refresh (4690k), and Z97 Mobo.
     
    I'd also go with Seagate Barracuda (WD failed me a few times)
     
    Drop the PSU to 550W 80+Bronze/Gold/Silver (unless this one is cheap )
     
    Also, if i had leftover money, i'd go with a bigger SSD. It's always better to have a little more space on your main (boot) drive
     
    As for heat, as long as you don't get a reference GPU, then it shouldn't be a problem (but choose one with a good cooler )
     
    @SAV1OUR - I think he should go with 290, because he said he wants to play next gen games, and for that, i'd be more comfortable with 290 instead of 280x.

    Don't judge cooling capability by the rpm of the fan. Different fans have different designs and are thus more or less efficient than others. Noctua fans are regarded as one of the best in the business and their coolers are also regarded as among the best. That Noctua will cool just as well as or better than the 212 evo. The 212 evo, IMO, presents better value though.
