Don't get a Z87 board if you are going with a locked processor. I would also go with a 760 instead of a 660.

Where are you located? Do you have a budget? Do you already have parts?

[knight_40k]

Are you on a tight budget? I would try for at least an i5 k series and a SSD if you can.

[mopman94]

I think you are going to want to go for an i5 or if you cant afford that an AMD FX 6 or 8 core.

go for a cheaper h87 motherboard

find cheaper RAM as well from another reputable company (crucial, kingston, mushkin etc..)

Get a PSU better than a CX series. Those are really bottom of the barrel budget quality PSUs. 

And why the hell would you get an expensive nearly 400$ monitor when your build is mid to low end? Spend less on a just as good 150$ IPS monitor and spend it on your build instead. 

[Akolyte]

Get a H87 board, H87 is like z87 but can't overclock.  I would also advise getting a small SSD if you can afford it because the SSD was one of the best thing I've ever done!

@GeekySole9354 As someone else in the thread, let us know if you need any other peripherals other than a monitor and what your budget and location are. 

[GeekySole9354]

Thanks, im going to try to answer your questions.

 

Yes im on a budget.

Im going with the 29 incer because i love that aspect ratio!

Im going to buy an ssd later on when i can afford it.

I live in Sweden and stuff is more expensive here than it is in America.

I do not have any parts.

I do have a Mionix Naos 8200 and a Steelseries Siberia v2 and im going to buy an Corsair RGB keyboard so i can have whatever color i want on my enture setup.

[GeekySole9354]

Seriously dude, you could get an i5 instead AND an SSD if you instead buy a regular 1080p IPS monitor. It's not worth it to skip such things just because you want a 21:9 monitor.

you can give kronar pricing, no problem.

Yeah but i can get that monitor really cheap from a friend so it costs like a third of the original price.

ok then it's not a bad idea. Nevertheless, please give us your total budget in krona as well as a good website for buying pc parts online in Sweden.

The 750 can't handle the resolution 2560x1080

[SAV1OUR]

The 750 can't handle the resolution 2560x1080

the 750ti can it can run 1080p bf4 at ultra with 30fps so im sure it can run anything in 1080p right now 

[tacticalpanic]

the 750ti can it can run 1080p bf4 at ultra with 30fps so im sure it can run anything in 1080p right now 

 

the monitor you listed is 2560x1080 resolution , when people say 1080p they really mean 1920x1080 which is what those benchmarks are from. 2560x1080 requres much more power.

[GeekySole9354]
