Your Monitor Resolution: 1080p or 1200

Additional Comments: Should be able to max most games at 1080p. At least 23" monitor. And if overclocking, I want it to stay pretty cool under load. I want to overclock the CPU only. Does overclocking shorten the usable life of the CPU, and by how many hours does it reduce?

A bit over-budget but worth it. You can always opt for a cheaper case if you want to keep it at 1350. Something like the 300R or Antec 900
