Hey guys, im about to finalize my build and prob get everything together in 2-3 weeks>
I made the build from pcpartpicker.com

http://pcpartpicker.com/p/gMT6

Budget: I would like to keep it under $1500 with monitor and all peripherals.

System Usage: Gaming, Internet Browsing, Watch alot of movies, Adobe Photoshop/Bridge, Sony vegas,

Games: Borderlands 2 (when it comes out), Starcraft 2, Browsing, Watching alot of movies) Jade dynasty, Sony Vegas, Adobe Photoshop/Bridge, Fallout New Vegas, Minecraft.
I prefer to play these games of ultra/max. (Not sure whether or not get to Gtx 660ti or Radeon 7870 for my usage.

Monitor: I would like to have a 27" monitor but cant find any for cheaper that i like other than the one in the build.

Preferred websites/stores: Newegg.com, i live near a fry's electronics and micro center is close enough.

Overclock: Maybe

 
Pretty good build.

Change the Vertex 3 to a Vertex 4, much faster.
OCZ Vertex 4 128GB. $100
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820227791

This RAM is the same speed, faster and has a lower profile heatsink. So it wont conflict with that 212 EVO.
G.Skill Ares 16GB (4x4GB) 1600Mhz, CL9 1.5v. $80

Do you really need 27"? Dropping to 24" (which in my opinion is plenty) would save you some significant coin.

Hmm, the Vertex 4 and Ram seems like a good switch.


With the monitor, i might considering doing dual monitors with like 22", any suggestions on which one to get? But im still not sure which GPU to get our of the 2.
