Cost efficient 1080p gaming rig

[ThalesSousa]

Hi there, I'm currently looking for parts to build a new pc, but I really want to make the right call and get the best for my money. I'll list what I want to do and if you know what would be best, please tell me.

- I'll be playing on 1080p, I won't invest in 4k until it's much cheaper. For now 1080p will suffice.

- I have 2 more monitors lying around the house. Would be nice to use them in a triple monitor setup.

- I don't mind overclocking my graphics card, I have done that before. If you think some graphics card would work but only overclocked, tell me, I won't be discouraged.

- I also don't mind buying multiple graphics cards, as it'll probably be necessary since I'd like to use multiple monitors.

- I have no preference whatsoever when it comes to Nvidia or Amd, suggest anything.

-I don't mind buying a new mobo or power supply, as I'm pretty sure they wouldn't be enough.

So yeah, that's it. My specs right now:

cpu: i5 4460 3.2GHz
mobo: Asus H81M-a/br (I know, it's a budget mobo, only one pci-e slot, but I don't mind buying a new one)
ram: 8GB (2x4) 1333MHz DDR3 ram
gpu: Nvidia GeForece 9600 gt 1GB
psu: Corsair CX600

You just need to change your GPU in your current rig . The other specs are great for 1080p.
As for the GPU upgrade , you should replace that 9600 gt with the R9 380.

Even on newer games? Like GTA V on high?

Yes the R9 380 will handle GTA 5 at high settings 1080p.
