The PC that i have built can be found here:
http://pcpartpicker.com/p/Msqm


CPU: Intel Core i7-3770K 3.5GHz (Hoping to OC to 4.5Ghz)
CPU cooler: Corsair H100i 77.0 CFM Liquid CPU Cooler
Motherboard: Asus Maximus V Formula EATX LGA1155
Memory: Corsair Vengeance 8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR3-1600
HDD: Western Digital Caviar Black 1TB 3.5" 7200RPM
SSD: Crucial M4 128GB 2.5"
GPU: EVGA GeForce GTX 670 2gb (FTW edition)
PSU: Corsair 760i
Case: Corsair Obsidian 800D
Optical drive: Asus DRW-24B1ST/BLK/B/AS DVD/CD Writer
OS: Windows 7 professional 64-bit
Monitor: Asus VG248QE


This will be mainly used for gaming and some video editing. I would like to have high FPS in online games and high quality graphics in other games like Skyrim and Just Cause. I might also SLI another card in the near future. If there are any compatibility issues or any suggestions please post bellow. The monitor I listed is something that i am still deciding but i am leaning towards that one but let me know if there are any better options.
 


Sabertooth is not the best. The thermal armor causes many people to have overheating issues. Its a BS marketing scam.

And how is Maximus a scam/ overrated? I thought that it had allot of neat features. What mother board would you recommend then? I don't want to spend a fortune but Im willing to go up a little past the Formula.

I want a display thats at least 25" and with 2ms response time max. I would also like it be over 60mhz.
I was looking at some BenQ monitors and some other Asus monitors such as the Asus VG278H

For 120Hz monitor I would say go for BenQ.
