Thats a great build. 10/10, no changes. I would add an SSD only if you see fit. It wont affect overall performance, but will make loading snappy, so thats your choice.

Looks good, It will handle almost anything you can throw at it, But id recommend getting a 550watts PSU, But a 520 should be enough.


 

 

Can you recommend a monitor and an SSD for me ???
 

A 128gb one that isnt a Kingston v300 should be good.

Anything 1080p IPS from Acer, ASUS or BenQ

 

As for the SSD; Kingston, Corsair or SanDisk are all good. 128GB and up.

is this good monitor ?

BenQ DL2215 Full HD 21.5 inch LED MONITOR
 
 

 

Its TN, so maybe an IPS version..? The only reason for IPS is just viewing angles.

From a quick google search, this seems like a good monitor.

 

IPS stands for In-plane switching. It just means that as you move, and dont look directly at the image, there is no color shift.

TN is just a form of monitor that has color shift has you move.

Hey there :)
 
As the guys suggested, a SSD would give you lots of benefits in terms of responsiveness and loading times. 
Also the choice of the motherboard and the CPU indicate that you would be doing overclocking of the CPU. If so, you would need to get a custom CPU Cooler. If not, You can drop to a H97 type motherboard and a non-k version of the processor. :)

Since I am a Western Digital representative, I cannot really recommend other products or brands. I could suggest looking around the forum for other recommendations, check out some reviews and ratings and see what would fit best in your budget. :)
