I have been using iBuyPower to put together a computer for gaming and school. Anyone have any input? I'm trying to keep it a fairly reasonable price.

Thanks!

Power supply - Get one with brand name, e.g. consair 650W
Monitor - What brand is that? How much is it? I do recommend a higher resolution.
Speaker - How much is that? I don't have a clue of the quality...
 
Looks like a solid machine, should be a formidable rig for at least a few years!

If you're gaming a lot definitely get a bigger monitor. 19" sounds big but games are so much better on a bigger screen, and the 5770 should be able to handle today's games at pretty good resolutions on a bigger monitor.

yes, that is a much better heatsink. it will perform better than a cheap all in one liquid cooling system and it will be more reliable(no chance of leaking)

The coolit's arent going to leak,and i think they use asetek units(the corsair H50 is an asetek unit) and iirc ibuypower was offering the all in one cooling system for free last i checked, or it may have been cyberpower, but in any case, they are sealed units and won't just leak on their own, but the performance is only similar to midrange air coolers.
 
Looks like a nice setup, But I would not use ibuypower. Make a list of the parts you want and order them though newegg and build it your self. Haven't had good luck with ibuypower in the past... Plus building it your self is much more fun.
