What's your max budget?

Note that the components that you selected can't be overclocked.

The PSU can be better.

And for the monitor, the size doesn't really matter, what we need to know is its resolution, is it 1080p? 900p?... and of course if you're planning on updating it too.

My monitor res is 1366 X 768. Currently I have no plans for upgrading my monitor. My budget is $.800 - 900.

You will be able to overclock this CPU if you want and the GPU is pretty high end. It's overkill for your monitor right now, but if you decide to upgrade it along the way to 1080p (heck even 1440p) your system will not suffer.
