Thank you for taking the time to read my build. My goal is to build a system that is future-proof and can run new games on blast. Most parts are being purchased from new egg. Any suggestions/improvements are most certainly welcome!
Everything looks good except for the Monitor. I don't know that I'd buy a Westinghouse. (Just had bad experiences w/ them in the past) I also can't find what panel type it is. If it's TN, then I'd think a Samsung 245BW would be a much more attractive deal.
If your spending that kind of money you might as well add another hard drive, 1st for OS\Programs, 2nd for Swap File, Games, Video, mp3's, Data, etc. Also I don't see a heat sink you may look at:
Light to Moderate OC - Artic Cooling Freezer 7 Pro 92mm CPU Cooler
High OC - XIGMATEK HDT-S1283 120mm Rifle CPU Cooler w/Artic Cooling MX-2 Thermal Compound
Oh, I figured this may be worth mentioning depending how much you use photoshop. I know for a fact that Photoshop CS3 is multithreaded, so if you work with very large images with lots of layers, then I'd go for a quad core. Specifically, I'd wait for the Q9450 to hit and then go that route.
