Final Build - Opinions Welcome

[compute]

Hi, I'll be playing FIFA 12, COD 4, COD: MW3, Battlefield 3. I want to play these games with full settings (will bf3 play on ultra without a problem?), and minimal FPS loss. I'll also be watching blu-ray/hd movies and I will be streaming movies to the tv. I'll also have a lot of programs open at once... programs such as MYOB and other accounting programs (excel etc) I won't just have accounting programs open, I will overclock later on...

I won't be upgradeing any parts for 4-5 years... So when a new graphics card or processor comes out I won't upgrade...

Hows the monitor for gaming and general use? (what about ghosting?)
Will the graphics card suffice? Also which one should i chose from the ones i selected below

Maybe a better SSD? faster newer?

Will the power supply be able to run this setup without a problem or do i need a bigger one?

Will this system bottleneck?

650w is enough for a single 570, but if you plan on SLI later you need a good 750w at least.

But, if you don't plan on going SLI later, then there's no point spending $200 on a mobo.

It's pretty good. The 570 needs about 600w so a 650w is pretty good for headroom.

Which mobo would you suggest? I don't want a Asrock one but i want a UEFI

But if the GPU needs 600-650watts itself how much is left for the rest of the system? won't it struggle?

Something like http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813131781 should do.

Also, your PSU is really expensive for just a 650w. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817139021 is a better deal.

With the money saved from these you can upgrade to a GTX 580.

MSI Tech support:

"Hi,

We recommend a minimum of 650w power supply for a single N570GTX Twin Frozr III Power Edition/OC card."

So should i get a 750watt?

850w, for future sli, cause i'm pretty sure a single 570 can't max it...but not entirely sure. and if you get a good, dual fan card (like your twin frozr) you can do a huge oc, which will sometimes beat a stock 580.

No. It won't struggle.

What do you think of the current build below? If the video card needs 650w by itself how much is left for the rest of the system?

MSI TECH: Sorry to say I don’t know the specific amps required on the +12V rails – however generally at least 50 should be fine for a single 570.
