for the mem modules themselves, agda lang nang budget nmo... if the budget is tight, then there is no need to get those modules w/ additional bling2x... added eye candy ra mana sila... you don't need a mem module w/ heat sink if you'll not OC them... but kun ganahan ka'g egat2x ug dating... naa LED lit ang sulod sa chassis, then naka acrylic window panel and sides sa chassis, aw, palit na lang gyud ug mem modules na for "bling" para iwas upgraditis... like aning offering sa Avexir, Crucial & others na naa'y LED... hehehe... kay kaning dili eye-candy, ma ilisan man gyud ni sila for sure... kun ma adik na pag ayo...
another thing, as you've mentioned, sugod naka'g ka adik aning PC DIY passion, mag sige gyud ka'g upgrade ani for sure... lisod ang antidote aning "Upgraditis" virus... hehehe...
to add... for the monitor, basin ganahan ka maka experience ug full HD... 1920 x 1080p... labi na, maka dungog ka sa mga istorya or maka basa ka's mga discussion na ang GFX setting on the game is set at either, High or Ultra GFX preset and maxed out @ 1080p... mag wonder ka unsa ni... then, mo kick-in unya ang sakit. gasto napud unya... advice nko kay tigumi lang ug gamay para maka 21" ka (or 22" or better, 23" or 24"... dako ra kaayo ang 27". sakit na's mata. or, basin madaot ang mata unya. take good care of your eyes)... 1080p man ni sila'ng mga 21" and above... heads-up lang ni daan para iwas gasto napud in the near future... naa pud mga 2K and 4K (mahal pa kaayo ni) resolution monitors pa baya pero, for your chosen HW configuration, a 1080p resolution is enough for now... in reality, a 1600 x 900 resolution monitor like aning mga 20" kay ok ra man ni sila... naa ko diri, 27", 20" and 23" monitors ug gamit nko'g gaming (single monitor mode ra ha... dili multiple monitors set-up)... so far, ang akoa rang ma bantayan kay ang size ra gyud nila... hahahaha... if tight ang budget, your monitor of choice na 20" (19.5 actual viewing size), kumbate ra na sya...
just a friendly advice though... anyhow, to each on his own gyud ta aning gasto nato sa atoang passion... ang akoa lang, para ma gamit nimo's lain ang extra na savings...
pahabol pa gyud... sige lang ta pahabol... ah, pa lain beh... pa unlan ni... hehehe...
sa imoha diay na CPU and GPU choice, that is a "great" pairing!... dili na gyud na mag bottle neck... kulangan pa gani na'g juice ang GPU (GTX 750 Ti) nimo vs the capability of the CPU (i3-3240). you can even pair a R9 280x or a GTX 770 on that i3-3240... and that CPU can still support up 90% or even above on the firepower on those mentioned GPUs @ single GPU mode...
