get the wd black 1tb(if available at less than 5k). instead of dell s2440l, i suggest AOC i2369vm.
definitely go for a big and better cabinet at this budget. get corsair 400r,CM HAF 912/nzxt phantom 530 etc.

>>Any alternative CPU?
How about i7 4790 (non k)? Got 4.0 ghz base frequency.

>>Is it worth to spend a little extra on GPU and buy Gtx 780/R9 290x?

Rest all looks good :razz:

WD Black not available anywhere below 6k. Any Alternative or else will settle with WD Blue as [MENTION=140941]harshilsharma63[/MENTION] suggested :)

we can't blindly say a core i7 equivalent xeon will not be of any help in gaming compared to i5. some games make use of hyperthreading in core i7s like BF3 or BF4.
