I would agree with most of your parts except for your monitor. A nice 27 or so would cost you about half as much, and you could either go to a gtx 780, or get a 4670 instead of the 4430. Or, you could pick up a good quality 32 inch tv for less.

The Monitor is more of a personal preference, I was really set on a 2560 resolution so either way I was gonna drop some serious cash on it.

I suppose that makes sense, but if youre gaming at that resolution, you might look into a 4g card instead of the 2g 770.

Thats one of the things that took me awhile to decide on, I originally had the 4gb pick out, but the 2gb was cheaper and I was told that the 770 2gb should still be fine.

While there are only a few games now that can use 2g or better, I bet that new releases will be using even more vram. BF4 and skyrim can use over 2g playing at just 1080p, just something to consider to make your build a bit more"future proof". Seems like a really solid system, either way you go, I'll bet you'll enjoy it a bunch

get a k series better for performance
