Most of your links were truncated, so they don't work properly.

For the price of that monitor, you could get a better Dell U2311 IPS display. Monitors are personal tastes, but I feel for $300 you could get a better monitor.

I would only get 8GB RAM maximum, as you'll never ever use 16GB in gaming, and even in some strenuous work environments. It's literally a waste of money.

On your budget, you could probably afford 2 GTX 580s. At least get one 580; don't even think about the 570 if you're considering that budget.

As for a hard drive, you could easily afford a good Solid State and a better 1TB drive like the Samsung F3. 500GB really isn't cost effective anymore.

Note that Windows doesn't have native blu-ray playback, so you will need software if you intend to watch blu-rays on your computer.

I'd get the Corsair 850HX if you're considering 2 GPUs in the future. It's one of the best PSUs on the market right now.
