Case: Corsair 550D http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811139012&nm_mc=AFC-C8Junction&cm_mmc=AFC-C8Junction-_-na-_-na-_-na&AID=10440897&PID=3332167&SID=u00000687 $140

SSD : Either Crucial M4 or Samsung 830 128 GB. I was going to go with the 830 but prices went up again. ~$150

Optical Drive: LG DVD Burner http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16827136240&nm_mc=AFC-C8Junction&cm_mmc=AFC-C8Junction-_-na-_-na-_-na&AID=10440897&PID=3332167&SID=u00000687 $17

OS: Windows 7 64-bit $100

Total projected cost: ~$1192 + shipping


Are there any glaring flaws? Possible improvements or revisions? Incompatibilities?

I should also add that I'm searching for a suitable 23-24 inch monitor. Right now I'm between the Dell U2412M and the Viewsonic VP2365-LED. Not sure what to get so recommendations would be appreciated.

Everything looks good to me. A lot of the same parts in my rig. Good choice on SSDs. Don't know much about that tower though.

I would suggest:

Isn't 750 watts overkill for these specs?

Yes, but the price is definitely right, especially with that discount code.

Hmmm, this is quite a bit pricier but it's fully modular, is 80 Plus Gold, and reviewed very favorably at SPCR:
