It looks like a pretty good build. I don't think 430W is enough, if it is it'll be pretty close. You should bump it up a bit. Don't the r9 series pull a lot of power?

Considering the $14 price difference you should go with the 4590. The 4460 will be fine for gaming though.

Try plugging in to a different monitor or tv. I had a weird issue where my card wasn't outputting to monitor and plugging in to tv fixed it.

Is it a brand new HDD? if it is it shouldn't be giving you these problems. It may just be a bad part. Honestly I'm not too sure, but it sounds like you've tried everything. Hopefully someone will show up with better advice.

Was it running just fine before you disconnected the monitor? Have you changed or installed anything that could have affected it. See what the performance monitor in task manager says when you first start up. It will tell you if cpu, ram, etc. is the problem.

If you're asking if it's bad to pair amd products with Nvidia, then no it's not. They'll work exactly how they should.

I agree with Warukyure, the hardware will work great together and provide good gaming performance. AC Unity performance will entirely depend on what Ubisoft does.

That's a hell of a build you got there. No it's not worth it to get 32gb of ram. 16gb is more than you'll need for everyday use/ gaming really. I really don't think it's worth it to spend $900 to have your pc built. If you've never built a pc it can be kind of intimidating, but it's actually...

definitely spend more on the video card, it will have a bigger impact on performance.

Ya, that will work fine.

The gtx 770 is a very good card, and falls within that budget with both 2gb and 4gb versions. Also you may be able to find a 280x close to $400 on sale.

The stock HSFs aren't great. You should definitely upgrade to an aftermarket cooler, I'm guessing you want to OC since you have the 4770k. The cooler may depend on your case and your preference. I have the h100i and am very happy with it. It cools my OC'd 3570k very well, it's easy to install...

That seems like a good upgrade. I have that exact same video card and it's amazing. If you have any plans for using 3 monitors or 1-2 very high res monitors you may want to consider getting the 4gb version. If you have any money left over you may also want to look into adding more RAM, I believe...
