Eugene, if you can find MSI, Asus, EVGA, and Gigabyte, then consider MSI TwinFrozr for the GPU ... if not, then Asus DCII. MSI, Asus, and Gigabyte are good solutions for GPUs.

This is another classic question that always gets asked. Should I buy a matte screen or glossy screen? It all depends on how you use the monitor, and what are your preferences.

Matte screens are good in bright rooms, when you do not have a choice to place your monitor in an optimum position, or you cannot control the lighting. However, the downside is that matte screens will make the picture look duller in color, and less contrast, resulting in lower perceived image quality.

Glossy screens have more vivid color, and better contrast, as there is no anti-reflective coating to alter the light, but you will need careful control of the environment lighting.

My current monitor is a Dell UH series, and it is quite good for my room where there are two large windows, which I can control using blinds.

If you are not sure, just go for a monitor with IPS panel, and ensure you buy from a reputable brand, like Dell, or Asus, or others.

So you want gaming first then? Hmmm Imo get a GTX 760 Phantom Gainward for RM 849 @Lingloong. Then when got the money get a i5-4670k with a Z87 mobo. I think some people sell it as a bundle and can get cheap
Edit - Also get a new PSU. Antec VP-550w RM 199 is good enough can get in viewnet

now im only play dota 2. ya for gaming.. gtx 760 vs r 270x which 1 is btter?

As per can see here the 760 is 12% Better. Reminder that that's a ref. 760 so a phantom can atleast have 17% more juice to it.

alright.. noted. thx for the feedback!

I'd sell of that r7 250 for RM200 and use the extra money on Seasonic M12II 80+ Bronze 620W RM359..

EDIT:Btw,Intel G3220 might bottleneck GTX760..

Aye lad I'm well aware of that. But if he's into gaming first the 760 might bottleneck it but he will see an increasing in frame rates. I'd recommend he get an i5 as soon as he got the budget

ps: offtopic

sorry guys, but anyone knows where can i get zotac 780ti amp edition? i looked for heavyarm but sold out..

Ask @GBros

ok thanks zgames
