Hey this is a computer I plan on ordering this week. This is the first time i've truly made one from scratch on my own, so I would like to know if there are any compatibility/known issues with any of the parts i've chosen.
I'm always open to suggestions, however I'm on a budget and don't want this to cost over ~$1400. Currently that's exactly what this system is costing me. I can go up about another $100 or so if it's a good improvement. I'm mostly just curious about the motherboard/Power supply since those are the 2 components i'm least familiar with.
Here we go::
CPU: Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600 Quad Core Processor LGA775 Kentsfield 2.40GHZ 1066FSB 8MB Retail Box
MOBO: EVGA Nforce 750I SLI Ftw LGA775 ATX DDR2 2PCI-E16 1PCI-E1 2PCI SATA RAID Sound GBLAN
VGA: XFX GeForce 9600GT 650MHZ 512MB 256BIT 1.8GHZ DDR3 PCI-E Dual DVI-I HDCP HDTV Out Video Card X2
CASE: Antec Nine Hundred Mid Tower Gamer Case 900 ATX 9 Drive Bay No PS Top USB2.0 1394 Audio
RAM: OCZ Titanium XTC PC2-6400 4GB 2X2GB DDR2-800 CL4-4-4-15 DDR2 240PIN Dual Channel Memory Kit
PSU: Antec Truepower Quattro 850W Power Supply ATX V2.2 EPS12V 20/24PIN Active PFC 80PLUS Dual 8PIN PCI-E
HEATSINK: Scythe Ninja Plus REV.B Heatpipe Fanless Heatsink AM2 LGA775 S478 S754 S939 W/ 120MM Fan
HDD:

Thanks in advance!
OH and if anyone could PLEASE recommend a great gaming monitor. 20 or 22 inches. I'm so torn. I like both samsung and viewsonic but have no idea which model to buy.
