Budget is $1500
Not sure if this will help but i have 2x 1600x900 Monitors.
I'm only planning on buying parts in Ncix, CA

1) cut that gpu back to a 670 it's within 5% of the performance of the 680 and over $100 less.
2) maybe find a little lower voltage ram... not necessary but something to think about.

otherwise looks good.

In addition to what ingtar33 said:

1. Get the C70 Military Green instead.

2. The Seasonic PSU is a tad expensive. You can get a Corsair TX650 V2 for only $60. The difference is $40, but you will only save $2-$3 a month using it at 50% load for 24/7 between a Bronze PSU and a Gold PSU. So you'll need to run it for about 20 months to pay it off. Obviously, that's impractical because you won't run it at 50% load 24/7. Most of the time, the computer will be idling or turned off. So the payoff time is generally more than 20 months.
