Yay :clap: , thats what i wanted to hear, im pretty much gettin that card just so i can oc to ultra speeds guaranteed. I dont wanna oc a GT to an ultra and have a 400 dolla paperweight on my hands and crappy fps in games....i cant afford to shell out another 400 dollars
 
What are you going to use the computer for?
You sure about that monitor? If you're gonna play games, that's gonna ghost like a motherf**ker!


Oherwise, it looks pretty good.

Here you go for the monitor:

http://www.newegg.com/app/viewproductdesc.asp?description=24-013-013&DEPA=1

Cheaper and better. 16 ms is going to ghost much less than 25 ms

Oh, by the way, for gaming, that mouse isn't the best. I wouldn't recommend anything wireless yet, except for the MX1000 as it uses a new wireless technology. Get the MX510 from newegg for $33 and the logitech elite keyboard from newegg. Should end up costing you about the same.

Also, I recommend getting most of the components from one or two sites. The shipping for that is going to kill you.
