Need a little advice on new system build

Hey all,

I'm in need of some advice for my second homebuilt system. The first I built was for my dad and now i'm finally getting one. I'm going to be using the computer mostly for gaming (FPS, RTS, Etc.) and i'm also going to be using it for schoolwork too. I'm trying to keep it kind of cheap under ($1,200). I'm hoping to get a good amount of life out of the computer and I was looking for some help if anyone could see if the parts below are good for what I will be using the computer for. I'm really not sure what RAM is best for gaming, I prefer to stay with some type of OCZ memory because I used the XMP memory in my previous computer build and it worked well (although there is not much gaming done on the 1st computer I built). I don't need a case or a hard drive. Also, Could anyone recommend a decent monitor in the $100-$200 range? Any help is greatly appreciated

I kind of figured it was overkill, I was also thinking about going with the 750tx which $20.00 cheaper. The only reason I was going with the 850tx was because I wasen't exactly sure if I was going to attempt to OC this system or if I was going to do SLI down the road.

The 750W Corsair would still allow you to overclock and SLI, but like aford I would recommend something Radeon. Either set of RAM would work fine, but I would recommend this one

Thanks for all the quick responses, I'll have to look into the Acer and dell monitors. I was looking at the platinum for RAM but it was a little out of my price range, it seems newegg has a good deal on the 6gb of OCZ gold with a $20.00 rebate. I think i'm going to change the PSU to the 750tx. As for the video card im not sure which one to go with, I looked at benchmarks and it seems the radeon 4870 and the gtx 260 core 216 are evenly matched, so its still up in the air for me even though the 4870 has more memory.

Wow the radeon is a heck of a lot cheaper than the gtx 260 gpu, thats something i'll take into consideration didn't see that the radeon's were so much cheaper than the gtx 260 cards

Nvidia cards are good, but way overpriced in comparison to ATI.
