Here is what I have so far. I am open to suggestions and ideas. I would like to spend under $2000 to include everything (PC, Monitor, Mouse, Keyboard). I selected a 27" monitor and i'm open to changing this but I would like at least a 24" but mostly needs to be a great image.

Drop RAM down to 8GB you dont need 16GB for gaming
HDD is a 'Green" Type meaning its slower then regular ones, I would go with Seagate Barracuda type
If you plan to SLI another 570 up your PSU to an 850W (if not your good)

I don't mind spending the extra money on the RAM. I usually have multiple games running at the same time along with WMP and a bunch of Firefox windows. I'm more worried about if this layout will be good temp wise. How much noise will it make etc.
