Hi, here's the things I would change:

1. 150GB Raptor + 320GB (or 250GB) instead of what you have now.
2. Samsung 226BW for about the same price (don't know where you shop), its 22" and 2ms
3. I would rather go down to a E6600 and buy some decent cooling for it and clock it higher than 3.0Ghz... but again I'm not sure if you wish to go through all this or not.

Good luck

Thanks for price range for monitor(I had the monitor 204B that I got from my work during promotion.... hehe)
And I am not overclocking and Im getting E6700 for 200 bucks from my friend(He owns a store) and I was also told not to overclock(It reduces processor life, he wants to keep the comp more than 4 years...)
