I am a first time builder and have recently put together a part list of potential components. I want to make sure that everything will work well together and want to hear everyone's opinion on my build. I would also like to stay with Intel and Nvidia. I'd also be looking for some decent monitors as well. Possibly dual. Suggestions? Thanks!

Here is the part list:

Great build. I added a gaming monitor. If this system is not for gaming, let us know.
