hi,

i am building my first pc and found almost all parts but I am not sure of what GPU and monitor could I use. I don't actually need to get perfect fps or 4k videogames and it is primarily for work and not so demanding games. I was also planning on making it a two monitor build keeping it on a low budget, what so you reccomend?

 

my build:

I would really appreciate some help.

I would push to the 900 series from Nvidia and just cut into a cheap GTX 960 if you can, have used 960's in the past when building and they have done VERY well, if you cant cut a 960 then drop to a 950, i don't know on the AMD side but i would assume the R9 380 is its equivalent, haven't worked much with AMD kit so i wouldn't know too much. 

I can't stop spending money my stupid home lab, help.

What is your max budget? And what games specifically do you plan on playing with it?

not demanding games, like Rocket league at pretty good fps with good image quality. I would like to save as much as I can so I can buy double or triple monitor to make work easier.

 

Thanks for the help.

That case is overpriced. Get an NZXT S340 and get a gtx 950.

SLI a pair of 980Ti's then just get 2 Gsync monitors and you should be ok. But don't forget your oculus rift.
