@ashish65 max screen reso is 1080p. I liked your option. But will it worth it compromising i5.
@rijinpk1 is 270x that good? Because i'm seriously in love with this k/b nd mouse + k380 combo.

you can upgrade k/b and mouse any time later say within 2 months or so but not the gpu. 270x will provide few more fps and is recommended . newer gen card are still not that powerful for 1080p displays. so get the the best within your budget. dont compromise on important parts like gpu, cpu etc.
