CoolerMaster CM-690 air-cooled, CoolerMaster Real Power Pro-750 watt psu, Asus Maximus Formula motherboard, Intel Q-9450 X38 cpu, 500 gb Seagate Barracuda 32mb cache SATA hard drive, G.Skill 2x2 gb ddr2 1066 ram memory, 2 Pioneer Black dvd burners. I'll be going to look at monitors before I order one on-line. Anyone know about a good deal on video cards to complete my rig?

looks good.

PSU might be overkill.

I think DDR2 800 would work fine, unless u plan to do crazy OC...pretty sure there is no real difference otherwise.

Monitor..i hear 22 inch is a sweet spot

Gfx Card get a 8800GTS 512 MB....cost around $170 on newegg ithink.

AFAIK DDR2 800 RAM OCed to 1066 works alot better than 1066 RAM. But again AFAIK the Intel FSB isn't really large enough to accomadte that extra speed well (not that it really needs it as its srength is its Architecture).
