Let me know if you recommend any changes, want to clock as high as possible. Also can't choose between 20" or 22" so thoughts welcome Dont mind paying more for better components if the performance increase is worth it. Primary use is gaming.

TIA

That PSU is overkill. Knock it down to a Corsair HX 520 and used the money you saved to step up to an E2200.

Go with a 22" screen imo, the extra expense is most definatly worth it

Will probably keep the HX620W for futureproofing if i decide to go xfire in the next few years and from researching the forums seems no point in getting the e2200 over the e2160 as both will clock to 3.2 happily and i fancy the challenge of trying to get more out of the e2160 tbh

Reason i'm stuck on this is cos 20 and 22 have same res so was wondering if smaller screen would have the sharper picture?

Anyone got any quarms with the mobo or gfx card?

i do not see any hard drives on your cart

If you do indeed decide to go X-fire you'll have to get a pair of Ati cards, if you wanna go SLI then you'll need to buy a motherboard with an nVidia chipset (intel chipsets only supports x-fire)
