Please help me make this cheaper. I think I can go to 1156 socket quad core and then the cpu, motherboard and ram will be cheaper (4GB instead of 6GB). I still need to pick a monitor!

Ok, I need help to trim down this build. The initial goal is to play Starcraft 2 on 1920x180 or 1920x1200 at max everything (Ultra) and maybe 4xAA. The GTX 460 1GB is the center of that. That card is out of stock, maybe there is another I can pick - 1GB is a must, the benchmarks show it a lot higher than the 768MB models.
The rest is up for grabs. I'll do ATX or mATX. Intel or AMD. If Intel, 1366 or 1156.
Also I'll take advice on a good gaming monitor, 22-24" 1080p+ resolution.
I also bought a Razer Imperator mouse and Logitech G110 gaming keyboard - if I should return those for something else let me know, I have 7 days to return them.
Need to get this cost down
Thanks!
