Is this a good build? Any suggestions?

everything seems really solid...whats your budget? (was too lazy to add them up myself)

what resolution should I be running the 4870 x2 with?

If I go with a 22inch monitor and the 4870 my total is $1,132.48

How does this 22inch monitor look? Should I sell out $50 more to get a higher quality 22inch? http://www.newegg.com/Product/Prod [...] 6824009145

If I get this monitor should I get the 4870 x2? Or is the regular 4870 with 1gb still sufficient to run games at 1920x1200? http://www.newegg.com/Product/Prod [...] 6824254026

I was also wondering about the ram, are there big differences between the different ddr2 speeds? What speed should I get if I dont really want to overclock but still want good performance? Would overclocking a ddr3 module get me a lot more performance in games over ddr2 stock and oced?

For the first monitor, I'm not sure how good it is. They only list the response time as 5ms, but we don't know if thats b2b (good) or g2g (horrible). The second monitor looks ok, I'm not sure if the low contrast ratio is normal for a larger screen. (the response time also isn't specified.) If you get the second screen, you are pushing it with the 4870 1GB maybe. You'll be able to play the games, but you might need to turn some settings down on some games. [H]ard shows the 4870 running fine at 19x12, but you won't be able to max out the AA for all games. Then again, is that a problem at 19x12?

If I remember your build correctly, you are getting an Intel system. Just stick with DDR2 ram at 800MHz. Should allow a nice overclock, the "faster" ram really isn't needed.
