This will suit you just fine. The monitor has a nice 75Hz refresh rate which'll mean a bit smoother games if framerates are high. And you can run Windows without a key so don't worry about that for now.

We have a NEW and GLORIOUSER-ER-ER PSU Tier List Now. (dammit @LukeSavenije stop coming up with new ones)

You can check out the old one that gave joy to so many across the land here

@Energycore The SSD (or HDD) is optional I asume. If it really has to be budget, topic starter can drop one of the two.

 

@ topic starter, I would asume the GPU (video card) came out of an excisting computer. Do you still have that power supply? If so, you might want to remove the power supply from the list energy core gave you. It worked before, should work again. Logic and all.

 

Anyways, other parts beside the videocard would be:

-motherboard

-CPU

-CPU cooler (check if there is a stock CPU cooler with the CPU you will be buying)

-Memory (most people suggest a minimum of 8 gb for gaming)

-A drive to install your windows/linux/whatever on, and for your games. SSD is way faster but moar expencive then an HDD.

-Case (but those can be REALLY cheap, even a cardboard box would work just fine)

-Power supply.

-Depending on what kind of games you like to play and the games you might already have on an cd-rom/dvd, an optical drive.

-Cables to connect all them components where required. (usually come with motherboard/PSU)

 

Check what you already have, give a budget and ask for specific advice. + please include what kind of games you like to play.
