$1600 build final check

Even with the dual graphics cards you think this is overkill? I plan to overclock my CPU and graphics cards. I also plan add another 3 sticks of RAM, a blu-ray reader/burner and another 2 hard drives in the future. I am not too sure in the area of power requirements, so I selected a supply that...

Good quality LCD monitor ~$300?

I am becoming frustrated in my search for a new LCD monitor. I read many reviews on Newegg. It seems like every manufacturer in the industry sends out loads of garbage monitors with dead pixels, backlight problems, etc. My goal is to not be screwed with a piece of garbage and also get a monitor...

Best graphics solution in $300-$400 range?

I have had a great deal of trouble finding comparable benchmark results for the 260-216s and the 275s, let alone a benchmark that tests both solutions in the same rig! I will post when/if I find something

12gb ddr3 / i7 920 / 4850 x2 system

Basically I am unsure how much power I will need for my system. I plan to run with one 4850 X2 video card, 6 sticks of 2GB DDR3, an i7 920, 2 SATA hard drives, 1 DVD RW drive, and maybe a Blu-Ray reader and SS drive. I want to make sure I have plenty of headroom for overclocking. I did a power...
