Monitor, depends on you preference, 1920x1080 is the most reasonably priced and commonly used, on a budget Benq make some good looking mva monitors.

GPU, most of the upper GPUs will be held back some what by the lower clocked x6 1045T but not that bad, I'd suggest you stay in the r9 280x or GTX 960 range.

What is your current gpu, motherboard and PSU?

Ram, download CPU-Z http://www.cpuid.com/softwares.html and see if you're running dual channel.

You might as well grab HWMonitor ^ too if you don't have one.

Ps, I had a 280x with my old x4 965BE it ran well.

brand/model?
if its the oem/dell 460w, a r9 270 will be ok, if it will fit in the case
measure from the rear io panel to the hdd cage to see how long of a gpu will fit

Ok thanks im pretty guaranteed it will fit thanks for the help everybody

oh and does it matter what kind of r9 270 like is there a major difference from MSI r9 270 and a r9 270?
