Looking For High-End Computer

ok here is my new setup i made. how does this look? im not sure about the mobo so i would like some opinions on that. its pretty spendy but if its worth it ill buy it, otherwise ill buy the foxconn flamingblade bodaggit23 posted or something else if someone has any recommendations.

i would just like to know what you guys think about this setup and if i should make it better or use something else or what.


Case
XCLIO Windtunnel Fully Black

Cpu
Intel Core i7 920 Nehalem 2.66GHz

MoBo: Should i get this one or something else? dont know if i need 750w
EVGA 141-BL-E769-A1 LGA 1366 Intel

PowerSupply: should i get this one or something else?
CORSAIR CMPSU-750TX 750W

Video Card: This looks good but maybe i should try something else?
SAPPHIRE Vapor-X Radeon HD 4870 2GB

Hard Drive
Western Digital Caviar Black WD5001AALS 500GB

CD/DVD
LG Black 22X

RAM
OCZ Gold 6GB (3 x 2GB)
Or

Monitor: Does this look pretty good? i wanted 27 inch but this seems to have good reviews.
ASUS VW246H Black 24" 2ms(GTG)

ok so does that look good? also what RAM looks better to go with? Anything i can buy that is cheaper and give me the same performance etc?
I just want to know anything and everything you guys can tell me. I dont want to buy a bunch of stuff and find out its not too great or something. Also am i missing anything?
Should i get a fan to put in there? again thanks for reading and trying to help me. I dont know too much about this and really appreciate all your thoughts and opinions.

Almost everything is perfect get this GPU instead http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814150359 it's better then the 4870 and cheaper. Everything else is good by the way your going to love that case it's one of my all time favorites. Oh and don't forget your aftermarket CPU cooler http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16835103055 and thermal compound http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16835154003.

hey thanks for your reply. i will add those to my list. i was actually looking at that video card you posted but i decided on the 4870 cause of reviews i read online but i will definatly get that 4890. i wont have my money to spend untill next month so im glad im getting all my answers taken care of before time instead of having the money and feeling impatient lol, also that case does seem pretty good, it seems pretty solid and what i really like about it was the fans. i really want to keep temps down as much as possible. again thanks for your post to me. :)

No problem just remember to post back before you buy you would be surprised how many thing can change in a month. The case is great and really solid the cable management is not the best but with some work it can be done.
 
so here is what could be my final decision for the computer im going to build, it comes up to $2,590.18 including everything and after shipping. what are your thoughts on it? should i replace anything for better or cheaper and get same performance, and also will a 750w Psu be enough? and do you think with what im going to get for my computer will stay cool enough or do i need something else? any and all suggestions and opinions welcome.

I would forget that motherboard and get his http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813186163 with this RAM http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820227381 6GB is more then enough for anything you do. If you plane on getting another GTX 295 in the future for SLI then keep it if not then get this http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814150349 its cheaper but almost the same as a GTX 295. Now about your keyboard and mouse if you won't something for gaming then you need these http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16823126034 and http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16826104079. Also I would get the corsair 850w power supply instead of the 750 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817139009. I think that pretty much wraps it up you are going to have a very nice computer that will be able to play anything out there for a while.
