try

Intel 3770K RM995
ASUS P8Z77M RM329
Kingston Value RAM 1x8GB RM114 <--- add one more 8Gb stick if you want smile.gif
WD Blue 1TB RM219
Intel 330 120GB RM299
MSI GTX 660 Twin Force OC RM839
Enermax NAXN 650W RM219
Bitfenix Merc Alpha RM115 <-- subject to preference, CM cases are good also
Dell U2312HM RM579
Total: RM3708

many room for more improvement, casing can opt for Corsair Carbide series at RM200-300 smile.gif
GPU can change to GTX 660 Ti but around RM1k++
also, if youre into OC, (which i assume you are) buy a 3rd party cooler like CM Hyper 212 Evo at RM119
Omg, i never expect i could get a reply in such short time! APPRECIATED THAT!
BTW, i'm not a people who ever try to OC before because last time when my lecturer taught about that, i was quite sleepy and didn't pay attention on it. Yet, actually i already own a monitor with that large screen, so that amount of money can actually save up for a better GPU! rolleyes.gif

Then go for maybe a AMD 7970/7950 or GTX670/680

so after bios than nothing? signal gone? if cannot go install the graphic card drivers first plug into you internal graphics to do so and try again.

also can say step by step how its happening and make sure you plug in all the necessary power cables to the motherboard and the graphic card.

Thank you for your replied, the actual error message "Check Signal Cable HDMI", i try to even use on VGA cable and HDMI cable, it still remain the same thing. I'm using Asus GTX 680 as GPU. What should i do now? Previously i was using my laptop to connect my monitor at all time, is it some kind of setting needed to reset by me?
