I'm pretty set with the monitor. It is also my 360/TV so I'd like to keep the trio all in one. I won't be adding more displays either. I have no specific brand preferences for parts, but I prefer what's reputed to be the higher end stuff. Similarly, not stuck on any one site. I'll shop if they have good feedback.
My two goals with the build are to play games on the best settings my display can render, and not buy another computer for years while maintaining that. I want to play videogames at their best for as long as I can. This is why I chose the CPU - assuming games will eventually make use of it. Overclocking and Crossfire/SLi will be used to keep up with software in the future.
So I'd like some feedback and critiques of what I've got. Anything worth waiting for not too far outside my time frame, or something that will likely work better for my goals. Also a case, if there's a cheaper, decent quality E-ATX case than what I have, that would be cool.
CPU: Intel i7 3930K ($570)
Motherboard: Asus Rampage IV Extreme ($400)
Video: Sapphire Radeon HD7970 ($540)
RAM: Corsair Dominator 16GB 2133 MHz ($240)
PSU: Antec High-Current Pro 850W ($170)
Case: Lian Li A70F ($180)
Cooling: Noctua NH-D14 ($80) (Water cooled when I overclock and find a touchscreen to fit in two drive bays)
SSD: Corsair Force Series GT 120GB ($170)
This, taxed and shipped (midwest), is less than $2500.
