Also I was wondering with my graphic card what size monitor do you think I should get and what resolution should I be playing at? (I have a monitor, so it not needed, but I want to know in case I decide to buy a new monitor)

Also what tools do I need to get build my computer?

Thanks!
 
Looks good, but since that motherboard supports SLI and not Crossfire, you may want to consider an nVidia graphics card, in case you want to add another card later.

OR,

If you're not going to add another card later, I would also choose a board with only one PCI-E slot, because it will be much cheaper.

You'll want a fairly good sized monitor if you plan on running that card at max res because all those pixels will be wasted on a smaller monitor. I'd say 24" or better at least.

The only tool you really need is a phillips head screwdriver, if that.

Nice build. :good:
