I need to include a monitor. This build would usually play CSGO, BF4 and other competetive games such as LOL. This build is for a friend. Do tell me the flaws and how can i improve the build.

Go for an i3 - pentium is NOT worth the money with some modern games flat out refusing to start on a dual core - get a cheaper 950 if possible, or consider the 750 Ti - 160$ is a bit pricey for it.

No problem - the 270 is slightly (2-5 fps) behind the 950 at the moment but once DX12 drops it will get around a 30% performance bump from what we've seen and will surpass it in future games.

If you dont mind a bit smaller monitor, so can you get an IPS for the same price: http://pcpartpicker.com/part/asus-monitor-vs239hp

Which gives a lot better colors.

I speak my mind, sorry if thats a problem.

I'm currently using that monitor. It's great after color calibration.

true but IPS panels are generally recommended - better image quality and for me it actually puts less strain on my eyes surprisingly - my old TN panel use to wear me down in a few hours but ever since I got the Dell IPS - I've been able to pull a 24-hour marathon without even noticing.

I really wanted to upgrade your PSU to a Modular one, so you could have more free space in the case while building and such. You could save money by using your original choice, but i think the upgrade was worth it.

Here's my recommended computer build. I had realized after the fact that I had forgotten the monitor.
 
So, here it is with a monitor in the build. I know it's over $700 USD, but that's what I am suggesting here.

nah, had to get rid of it for other things. :) like more FPS

5 fps not worth it :D - but that's my personal opinion so take it with a grain of salt - but DX12 might change that :P

Get the Pentium and upgrade to i5 later or get a damn 860K cause a i3 is not worth the price...

i3s are decent little CPUs - ^_^
