I'm buying a $2000 Gaming Rig for my dad. Or rather, he wants one and asked me to pick out the parts with a budget of $2000. I want to be careful to get it right and not make any mistakes. Here's what I've come up with:

What do you think? Any issues you can find?
 
Minor changes. I prefer Asus as they have a record with producing good quality motherboards but that is personally. The gigabyte you chosen is fine.
550W is sufficient.
A single monitor might be better than two separate.
