Relax .... no rush

1. You have new cases / PSU's from CES hitting store shelves in 1-2 weeks.
2. You have new processors getting released in next 1-3 weeks
3. With 2 above comes a slew of new MoBos.
4. Fermi hits in 29 days.
5. New SSD's arriving in mid March

Monitor - This is the basis of your GFX system and case / PSU depend on it. The 20" says 1600 x 900 and the 5770 can handle that resolution. The Hans is considered "budget" hardware.....I'd opt for an Asus 1920 x 1200 model if budget can stand it.

Case - For budget systems, I'd recommend the Antec Illusion

Hard Drives - Check out the performance charts and pick whatever 500 GB per platter drive performs best under your usage patterns. The WD Black 2 TB is a good choice but at smaller capacities, you are limited to the Seagate 7200.12 or the Spinpoint F3. The 7200.12 excels in gaming, multimedia and pictures whereas the F3 wins at music and movie maker. See the comparisons here (copy past link in manually, link won't work in forum):

(http://www.tomshardware.com/charts/2009-3.5-desktop-hard-drive-charts/compare,1006.html?prod[2371]=on&prod[2770]=on)

GFX Card - I'd not get a card that exhausts hot air into the case. Suggest spending $12 more

AS5 takes 200 hours to cure (says so on their web site). I'd opt for something else like OCZ Freeze or IC Diamond 7 Karat
