What is the total cost so far?

 

[Tavo_Nova]

seasonic x-850 80plus gold (full modular) corsair ax850 80plus gold(full modular)

gtx680 msi/zotac/asus for nice warranty unless you can make use of evga's lifetime.

or gtx570 from msi and gtx560ti 448core from msi too

sapphire hd 7970/7950 or 7850 or 7870 any of these would rock you.

since you got a fat budget already and you got most of the important parts, then just any 150$ 23" or 24" monitor

go with viewsonic,samsung,lg monitors so far those are the brands I use and all have great quality.

also get ASUS monitor they are good, I never used one but I've seen it on my friends house, it has good quality too.

cooler master hyper 212 PLUS(its cheap and great bang for buck) or you can get the hyper 212 evo (just the same but a little bit better) your choice

Get a Hyper 212 Evo.
Get ARctic Silver 5 thermal paste.
