Dear all,

I am planning to build a rig having the following config. The sole purpose is gaming.

1] Cpu - Intel i74770K
2] Mobo - Asus Maximus VI Hero / Sabertooth Z87
3] Cooler - Noctua nh-u12p se2
4] Ram - Corsair Dominator Platinum 8GB 2133mhz / 2400mhz [depending on availability in India]
5] SSD - Corsair Neutron GTX 240GB
6] HDD - WD Cavair Black 1TB
7] GPU - Asus Geforce GTX 780 SLI
8] PSU - Corsair AX860i
9] Optical Drive - Asus Dvd burner
10] Case - Antec P280
11] Monitor - Here I'm totally confused... :(  Will get to that later.

My questions -

1] Will i be able to use the noctua cooler with Dominator Platinum ram?
The upper fins on the ram are not removable like Dominator/Dominator GT.. So will it fit?

2] Please suggest better/faster 240Gb Ssd [sata 3 interface]

3] Is Corsair AX860i sufficient or do i need 1200? [Gpu - 2x GTX780]

4] Monitor - I want a LED, full-hd, non 3-d, 23-24 inch monitor. Brands of prefrence - Asus,Dell.
Which should i get?

5] Soundcard - Please suggest a nice sound card and speaker set.

Any and all help/suggestions are more than welcome!
Please help me in building my dream rig :) 
Thanks
-Vikrant

I've read that monitors with low response rates [1ms-2ms] are best suited for gaming.. how true is it?

I don't THINK it will fit but Noctua.net says
"In order to increase clearance, you can easily move the fan up a few fins as show below:" http://www.noctua.at/main.php?show=faqs&step=2&lng=en&p...
It MIGHT fit in SOME motherboards

Would check out BenQ monitors. High quality lower costs.
