This one, right? As long as the HDMI port is working, it's compatible. 

 

oh man, I am not sure whether I got the HDMI cable with this Monitor or not.

This is the one I am refering to:- http://www.flipkart.com/asus-24-inch-vs248h-led-backlit-lcd-monitor/p/itmdwtjv9qxrh48z?pid=MONDWTJTQFGHXYTX&

 

So because this monitor has HDMI port, it is not neccessary I would have received the HDMI cable.

But I guess with MSI R9 280X I have received an HDMI cable, do you think it would work fine?

 

I am going to bed, please respond and tomorrow I would buy MSI Z97 Gaming 7 motherboard.

It'll work just fine. The motherboard also ships with one I think.

Thanks bro. But one last query why not ASUS or Gigabyte motherboards. Just I am curious to know, are they not doing good in the market because I feel MSI Z97 Gaming 7 does not have much features list compare to ASUS or Gigabyte

 

Also MSI Z97 Gaming 7 is overpriced here so can you suggest any better ASUS or Gigabyte mobos having better performance, better speed, better features...

I've never built with Gigabyte and can't say. The big motherboard triad is Asus, MSI, and Gigabyte. the three of them are considered to be equally good builders for mainstream boards. If you find a Gigabyte board with more features (which you intend to use) then just follow online reviews on newegg and amazon. You'll definitely lose some audio quality, and MSI does build military-class boards (resistant to damage over time by humidity, dust, magnetic storms, etc. in ways most other board makers don't make available to consumers). If you intend to build again in 3 years though, then that last point is moot. If gigabyte has all the features you want at an equal price point to MSI, then go for it. Both will be cheaper than an ASUS ROG board, and both provide a lot of good software support.

Bro, I am expecting MSI Z97 Gaming 7 would go for 4-5 years, let me know if this expectation is correct.

If it lasts you less than 4 I'd feel obligated to buy you a replacement (assuming it's not the 1/1000 which bricks in a couple days of use, which is something any board from any maker can do even if it passes factory inspections).

 

It will last you 5 years easy, probably 7 or more.

Thanks bro, I am definitely going to buy MSI Z97 Gaming 7 mobo. I am marking this as the resolved .

You're supposed to mark MY post as the best answer so I can rack up points.

How to do it?

You uncheck your post as the best answer and then check mine as you did before.

Bro, some people are recommending me ASUS MOTHER BAORD MAXIMUS VII HERO

I think it is better in features, so final thoughts, ASUS or MSI, please keep the components I have already in mind.
