Which monitor exactly? Your link gives us a list of all Samsung products available at Newegg.com Can you give me the model of the one your actually going? I assume the monitor cost are included in that 1k budget, am I correct in this assumption?

So that leaves $800 as the budget, I am on my way out right now but I'll get a build for you in about a hour when I get back.

Total of $735.88 - $50 in mail in rebates = $685.88

But since you are under budget, I recomend upgrading your monitor to this:

SAMSUNG T220 Rose-Black 22" 2ms GTG Touch of Color series Widescreen LCD Monitor 300 cd/m2 DC 20,000:1
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16824001273
$299.99

This will bring total to $1035.87 - $80 in mail in rebates = $955.87

Nice. Nothing to add to that build, slomo nailed it.

 

[toueg]

damn nice job man.. 2 things first one is what about a sound card? do i need one? and also in what ways is the 22" better than the 19"

 

[Guest]

The motherboard has built in audio which is usually more than enough.

The 22" allows for higher resolution.

 

[toueg]

oh yea and what about a cpu fan?

 

[Guest]

Its a boxed CPU and therefore comes with the factory heatsink + fan. This should be fine unless you plan on overclocking.

 

[toueg]

nope i dont .. thanks so much man you dont know how much i appreciate you doing this

 

[Proximon]

The retail fan is adequate.

If you want more, then possibly:

I literally just ordered the set up slomo named, minus the PSU...I got a different one combo with case. Recommended +1.

 

[Guest]

Just curious, which PSU did you end up going with Dante?

 

[dante sly]

Went with the Antec EA650
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817371015

because it was combo with my case, Antec 300
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811129042

Saved me a money.

 

[toueg]

im pretty sure the combo date is gonna run out before i can buy it so i think im gonna need a new case and power supply
