    I'd recommend getting an Acer G6 series monitor. They're about $120 and are of good quality. Personally, I like the 21-24" monitors at 1080p. Not too big, not too small.

    That is absolutely bloody awful. A perfect example of how not to build a PC.
    • Xeons are not good for gaming. Hyperthreading does almost nothing to improve CPU performance, an i5 will perform better for the same price and can be overclocked.
    • Z series motherboard with locked multiplier CPU - pointless waste of money. Only purpose of Z boards over H is overclocking.
    • Too much RAM. At this budget 16GB is a waste of money better spent elsewhere.
    • The GTX 960 is not worth buying. The Radeon R9 380 is better for the same price and will absolutely destroy the 960 in DirectX 12.
    • Case is too expensive. At this budget you should be spending on better hardware, not a fancy looking case.
    • Overkill PSU. You don't need a fully modular PSU, and you don't need 750W. Again, money is better spent elsewhere.
    • Don't use wi-fi on a desktop PC unless you absolutely have to.
    • Finally, the build is unbalanced - there will be a huge GPU bottleneck in 90% of modern games.
    • Oh, also, you're $60 over budget. That's a lot of money.
    Here's a proper $750 build, made with price/performance in mind:
    http://pcpartpicker.com/user/bluescreen1985/saved/WGhbt6
    • Entry-level i5, good enough for gaming and fairly cheap.
    • H81 board. Not great, but it's cheap and it does the job. Saving money here allows for a much better GPU:
    • Radeon R9 390. Much more powerful than a GTX 960 (60-80%). You can also get a GTX 970 if you want to but the 390 is better in DX12.
    • Cheaper but still very good, 80+ gold PSU. Also makes room for the more expensive card.
    • It's $100 less than your build and performs better. If your budget is $800 you can upgrade the CPU to an i5-6500.

    You missed the point of my post entirely. Your build is unbalanced and offers poor performance for the money. You can get something a lot better for less.

    No it's not. You posted a bad build. I pointed that out and provided a list of reasons why it's bad, and a link to a better one. The thread is about someone needing a PC, so all that was completely on topic.

    So let's please just leave it here - no need for salty arguments.

    In 1080p:
    GTA IV and ETS2 should run at 60 fps maxed out with no problem. GTA IV doesn't like GPUs with >2GB VRAM, but there's a pretty easy fix.
    GTA V will run at 60 fps maxed out with grass set to medium (grass kills FPS).
    BeamNG will run at 60+ maxed, with dynamic reflections in mid/high. 120+ on gridmap.
    Rainbow 6 and The Division, no idea, but they'll probably run at 60 fps high/ultra.

    Keep in mind this build doesn't include monitor or peripherals. If you need those too, get this instead: http://pcpartpicker.com/user/bluescreen1985/saved/WgFV3C
    It will run all of those games in high settings 60 fps. GTA IV and ETS2 will run at max settings with no problem. You'll have $200 left for a monitor and kb/m.
