Monitor and gpu - bad. Never, just never consider buying that castrated horseshit that is named 960 if you're going to play games. If you're more open minded, look what amd has to offer for that price that was picked. For 20 pounds more you can get a sapphire Tri-X R9 290. It's way better than 960. Sapphire Tri-X R9 290: 2560 Cores, 512 bit bus, 320 bandwith, 176 texture units and 957 MHz Engine Clock Msi Geforce 960: 1024 Cores, 128 bit bus, 112 bandwith, 72 texture units and 1190MHz Engine Clock on gaming mode. If you want to have a wee bit less wattage when gaming, suit yourself, go for Nvidia. (Both Nvidia and Amd have almost the same Wattage on idle, due to dynamic downclock, difference is like 8~ watts.) If you have more money to spare and are keen to nvidia, pick a better card. Monitor: whatever. Why do you need to overclock a cpu with gtx 960? And most of all what mobo do you have for that purpose? Edit: Gpu is bought already? Christ! Why did you even ask...
