As stated in the title, i am going to make an new pc.

Here are the specs:

CPU: i5-4690K.

Motherboard: MSI Z97 gaming 5.

RAM: 8GB Corsair Vengeance.

Storage: Crucial 256GB and 1TB WD Blue.

GPU: Sapphire R9 390.

Case: Corsair 780T.

PSU: EVGA supernova 650W 80+ Gold.

Display: I am also still unsure if i should go with the Asus VN289H or if i should go with an TV, the Samsung UE32H5303AW.

I am mainly going to use it for gaming, also a bit for work, like autocad. Which is an program that is used to make blueprints of houses, factory's and everything in between.

So what should i do? And what will i lose/win by going for one or the other?

GD.

*EDIT* I have an budget of €300 euro for the display

The build is good, i personally prefer having a 24inch ish monitor beacuse youre going to be sitting quite close to it.

You would think Ubisoft would support the Bulldozer based architectures more given their digging themed names like bulldozer, Piledriver, Steamroller and Excavator.

Minor edit, I added my display budget, which is €300 euro. What would you consider to be the best i can get with that?

 

Well I assume colour accuracy is important to you because of the home design stuff, so I'd get an IPS, for that budget (For the same price as the Asus you linked, not sure how much it sells for in your country) I'd recommend the Acer G257HU, you'll get IPS for great colours and viewing angles and also on top of that you'll get 1440p which will give you more on your screen making it easier to work and more productive :)

i5 4690k | GTX 980Ti G1 Gaming | 16GB RAM | MSI Z97 Gaming 7 | NZXT Kraken X61 | 850 EVO 250GB x2  | 1TB 850 Evo NZXT Noctis 450 | EVGA 750W 80+ Gold

It sure is an nice monitor, however it is €60 euro above my budget. I will have to pass on this one, since i already am at the verry max with €300
