Wow thats a good looking list, Although any suggestions for a lower priced graphics card but still good since I would like to buy the monitor thatI listed before? The 780 Ti looks heavenly though.

That is THE cheapest 780 Ti you'll find on the market today. How much does the monitor cost?

The monitor cost $160, Not too much but just enough to put me over my budget.
