Gaming works best on a Monitor tbh. You could save ~$50 if you buy an LCD Monitor.

Check my sig. Look towards stepping up from the $1000 build.

Since you are buying around march, you should probably go for a HD7850/7870 depending on price/performance. Also, 750W should be plenty to CF two of those. Corsair TX750 going for $105.

Im getting the LCD tv due to the fact that my g/f will be getting it and I will be getting my plasma back in a few months. Once that happens I will be getting a 24" monitor. Until then the LCD will work for everything for me.
