Ok, I've done a lot of research after posting this thread asking for suggestions on a new all-around Desktop build:

I think I'm pretty close. Here is what I've come up with so far:
CPU
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819103872
Mobo( I like the USB 3 support & SATA 6 for future upgrades)
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813128419
RAM
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820231275
Graphics Card
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814150467
Case (the USB/etc. on top of the case is nice)
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811119137
PSU
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817152041
DVD/Blu-Ray
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16827135205
Storage (I have a 1TB SATA drive that I'll move from the old machine for video storage)
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16822136498
Monitor (This seems like a good choice but are there better options?)
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16824236059
Total is about $800 w/shipping. I'd need a copy of Windows 7 but I think that's about it.
I basically want something that can last me 4-5 years and allow me to do some basic HD video creation, along with possibly some gaming in addition to all the other stuff (YouTube, MS Office, etc.). Other than that I don't think I need much more. Is there anything I'm missing or should change or swap out for better value? Also, this will be my 1st build so is there any other miscellaneous stuff I'll need?
Thanks in advance for the help!
