First Gaming Build

[Fyruxis]

As titled, looking to build my first gaming computer. Currently I have a parts list together, but I still need a graphics card, monitor, some expert opinions to see if what i've got so far is any good.

i5 4670 @ $219
Gigabyte H87 LGA 1150 @ $100
Corsair Vengeance Pro 2x4gb 2133Mhz @$127
EVGA 500W @ $50
Seagate 1TB SSHD @$100

Preferably, I'd like to spend around $300-$350 on a graphics card, possibly more if it is well worth it, a monitor for about $150 but I'm undecided on the type, i.e TN or IPS.

Thanks in advance.

I don't think your PSU will be able to handle a graphic card from that price range

True, 600W?

I'd suggest GTX 770, which can run on 600W PSU but it's a risk. It's better if you get at least a bronze 650W

Yeah, the GTX770 do look pretty good. A bigger psu would give me room for upgrades, I could SLI in the future.

Yes, do not skimp on your power supply. IMO, your Ram doesn't have to cost that much. You can get a 8gb kit for <75$.
IPS panels generally cost more than TN panels, so if you are going for a 150$ monitor, TN panels are probably the only kind at that price point.

I have seen cheaper ram, but I am also trying to have a black/white with blue highlight colour scheme. I was concerned about the higher clock on the ram as well.

There is this monitor. @ $170

I've heard of ghosting issues with the IPS monitors, but their colour is meant to be way better.

Get a larger PSU and preferably a GTX 770
