1500$ GAMING RIG!! NEED ADVICE!!

Hey, so I posted earlier on this site with the specs of the rig I was building but I have made quite a bit of changes. I would like anyone's advice to cut down a couple hundred bucks as I'm at 1650$ right now with taxes and have about 1500$ for the rig.

I mainly need advice on the case/power supply...if they will work well with everything and if there is enough cooling. I also want to crossfire with another hd4850 x2 in the future so take that into consideration. I'm not sure if my mobo can handle this quad crossfire though as it doesn't mention this. I'm going to overclock in the future, so I will buy a cpu cooler and thermal compound later for that.

Lastly, I need a suggestion for a sub 200$ lcd monitor that is bang for buck and will juice out my gpu and computer really well (1920 X 1080). Thanks!

So that would be a good replacement for the PSU right? Are there any suggestions to LOWER the cost? Thanks.

You can always add another one of these 4890's later on for Crossfire. Also another way to save money...and improve this build is to change cases to the CM 690 which is not only cheaper, but it has more room to work with for vid cards, h/s, etc...
