This monitor is great if you want it: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E168...
Do you already have that card??? What you could do is get another one and crossfire them. It would come out cheaper and you could also afford an i5-2500k.

Well if your PSU is 80 plus rated then 650W should be plenty. This is a build I would recommend.

The only reason I picked the Sapphire HD 7770 is because the HIS doesn't come with a CrossfireX Bridge, which will be annoying. In any case, two HD 7770's match the performance of a GTX 580 so you will be doing great in any games.
Then if you want you can add the monitor that I suggested earlier.

Not to sure of my PSU because a friend of mine gave me it not to long ago. Also im looking to use the hard drive im using now in the pre built i bought from best-buy about 2-3 years ago so i don't have to buy another OS. Unless i can transfer the stuff to the new harddrive then ill go with a new one since this one only is a 300g one. I could also use the Optical drive out of my prebuilt aswell if that can put more money towards better Memory or a different motherboard but im not doubting your picks. And sorry for the late response i had to go to work earlier.
