Unless you really like the looks of that case, there are cheaper one's out there with a lot of room and great cooling, such as the HAF 922 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811119197

You should get RAM with lower timings such as this Mushkin Enhanced Blackline 6GB CL7 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820226030

The PSU is excessive, an 850W will be more than enough http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817139009

By the way, 2x 5870's is overkill for that monitor. If you're dead set on getting 2, get one for now as it will be more than enough to handle any game out there. Get the 2nd one when prices drop a bit.

Keep the ram, Higher frequencies compensate for higher cas latencies so you are fine. And you are crazy 1000 watt. An 850watt would be overkill for you.
-And you are crossfireing one of the two most powerful gaming GPU's currently available for a 24'' monitor?....Either get a bigger monitor or just get one card because those cards won't even use 10%(exageration) of thier power for that monitor assuming it has a standard 1920x1200 resolution. And for a 3k budget you can get an SSD for your OS/Games and a 1TB hard drive or however much you need for storage.

Spend at least 400 dollars on watercooling or else it's pointless with a cheap kit. If you are going to only spend around 200 for watercooling, just get the prolimatech heatsink instead, the cpu temperature would be around the same.

What about a 27 inch display

What about a 27 inch display

27 inch with what resolution?

using 2x5870 is for 2560x1600 which is a 30 inch monitor. anything lower is overkill.
