I recently decided to build a custom PC. Turns out I don't 100%  know everything I need to know about to build a PC. So far I have bought a NZXT Phantom 410 case, and an MSI B85-G41 motherbored. And I have a pretty strict buget at about 1500  USD including the case and mother bored, I wanted to have a triple monitor setup. What do I do??? Someone help me. Thanks.

Would this build work with any GTX Geforce like 660 or above?

Here is a build with an Nvidia gpu. (It would be better and still under budget with an R9 290.)

80+ ratings certify electrical efficiency. Not quality.
