The monitor is something I am considering but not very sure, if you can suggest any other monitors with size >24" and price less that $300.

if anybody sees anything that should be changed, feel free to post. Thanks for the advice

Would you consider installing your OS and games on a SDD. Windows starts up faster, and games load faster.
ASUS make good monitors, and any one with a high newegg rating should do fine.
There are not too many cheap options for wireless keyboards. If you're looking for a gaming mouse that's wireless, the Rat9 is probably the best quality but retails for 150$. Another option is the Razer Mamba, but I that is about as expensive and prone to breaking.

yes I am planning to put my OS and games on SSD, but right now to get a stable and fast 120GB SSD is breaking my bank. So holding off of it for the time being. Woah the rat 9 mouse looks awesome.. but anyways thanks for the suggestions.
