==============================================================
So that's my final build I got from more research.
What do you guys think?
Buying the rest of the parts either when I see a good deal or during thanksgiving latest.
As for the monitors it's just going to be two ASUS VH242H at the moment.
Approximate Purchase Date: Late November to New Years.
Budget Range: (e.g.: 600-800)$1000-1400 after Tax (Not including the monitors)
System Usage from Most to Least Important: Gaming (HoN, S2, maybe D3), Mult-tasking, Movies, Movie/Photo Editing, School Work
Parts Not Required: Keyboard, Mouse, Speakers, Sound Card
Preferred Website(s) for Parts: Newegg, TigerDirect, (Open to suggestions too)
Country of Origin: United States
Parts Preferences: Intel Processors. Other than that nope.
Overclocking: Nope
SLI or Crossfire: Undecided
Monitor Resolution: 1920x1080
Additional Comments:
- A build with a quiet fan would be nice.
- (I'm also looking into a dual monitor set up but not sure how that will work. Looking for 2 LED monitors totaling $400-500)
- If anyone can recommend some that would be greatly appreciated.
- And is it possible to connect my Ps3 to the monitor and play on that?
What I have so far:

-Antec Twelve Hundred V3 Black Steel ATX Full Tower Unbeatable Gaming Case
MotherBoard
-ASUS SABERTOOTH P67
CPU
-Intel Core i5-2500K
GPU
-EVGA 012-P3-1570-AR GeForce GTX 570
Ram
-CORSAIR Vengeance 16GB (4 x 4GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3
(Most likely will purchase 8gb instead)
PSU
-CORSAIR Enthusiast Series TX750 V2
HDD
-Crucial M4 64GB (SSD) ( SSD for my start-up programs and some games)
-SAMSUNG Spinpoint 1TB 7200 RPM (For everything else)
CD/DVD

This is my first build so please bear with me.
These are some parts I put together through a little bit of research earlier this week. I don't know computer parts too well, so I'm not sure if they will be compatible with each other but hopefully some of you guys can give me your opinions or suggestions on the parts and build.
