Hello guys, i'm planning to buy a 1080p monitor, and i'm checking this out. http://www.scan.co.uk/products/236-aoc-e2461fwh-slim-bezel-led-monitor-hdmi-vga-1920x1080-50m1-250cd-m-2ms-vesa. can you guys tell me if this is a good monitor ?

and i'm also going to replace my psu, and the XFX pro series 850w xxx is what I have in mind is it a good psu ? since I saw it on tier 1 list of psu. thanks in advance!

this is my rig:
mobo : ASUS p8z77 v-lk
gpu : MSI GTX970 gaming 4g, or 3.5g I guess
ram : ripjaws g.skill 2x8gb @1333mhz
cpu : intel i5 3570 non k
psu : corsair VS650w

I also plan on going sli and may OC in the future if needed, so is the PSU above will suffice ?

Looks about right, you won't be able to overclock that CPU however, at least not effectively. I doubt you will need to overclock the graphics card at 1080p, as it was designed to run 1440p games at high framerates.

The monitor you picked is decent. You wont find much better or worse but seeing as it is end of life here are a few other very similarly specked but slightly better, at several price ranges.

I highly recommend the last one, it's just about the best deal your going to find for the size, quality, and type.

that's what I want as well, but due to availability I won't be able to purchase that. I live in the Philippines btw,
and the closest I can get on a tier 1 psu is the XFX pro,
