Additional Comments:
Rebates are not available for me, i want quality parts as warranty is a big issue since im shipping parts outside the US territory.

If i get good pricing on monitor within my country ill buy it/them here, just for the guaranty add.[/strike]

I have problems here with biostar board, they are not really quality, and for me guaranty its a big issue being outside the USA.

What about heat heat on micro cases?

I like the idea of micro atx, so shipping its cheaper, then i can expend a little more in quality parts, and 2 monitors its really nice for poker playing!
 
I have no problem with Biostars (i have a machine @ home with the same exact mobo and had built with their AM2+ line since 2008 for clients) and CM 341 is one of the few mATX that has huge clearance for long GPUs whilst having up to 4 x 120mm fans capability ^^

As it is a good idea, i think im going mid tower, maybe going after the HAF 912.

Think the Antec EA 650W its really a good idea, still waiting till black friday/cyber monday to see what is available!

New Budget $750-800, no need for monitor.
