Here's my rig: http://pcpartpicker.com/p/BHdCFT

Just want to make sure all of the parts will work together before I buy. Feel free to modify the build but the price its at is about my max budget. Also, If you really recommend a better monitor, I'm open to suggestions.

Thanks in advance :D

Looks totally fine, though i would get this psu instead if i where you:
http://pcpartpicker.com/part/xfx-power-supply-p1550sxxb9

it's much higher quality and even cheaper too, the CX are only decent psus, whereas the XXX series from XFX is a psu that gets quite a price bump when going for any higher model. (the 550w is very cheap compared to the others and also when comparing $/watt).

Here's a tier list for psus:

The XFX XXX series is Tier One whereas the Corsair CX series is only Tier three. And yes 550w is more than enough for your system, i would even call 500w enough. So you save money and get a better component, it's a no-brainer. :p

Nopp, it's the XFX Proseries XXX edition 550w, XFX is a Seasonic brand, this psu is as high quality as the S12 II 620w, and it's even cheaper because it's not a Seasonic branded psu. Though yes it comes at a lower wattage ;)

Sure! Its a great PSU at NCIX. PRO550W Core Edition.
But at Newegg link you will find a XFX TS 550. Funny thing... Nevermind.
