I'm having my first properly decent PC build soon, heres the build:

• Microsoft Windows 7 Home Premium 64-Bit SP1 Operating System
• Intel Core i5-2500K (Sandybridge) Socket LGA1155 Processor @4.5GHz
• Corsair H80 Water-Cooling CPU Cooler
• MSI ATI Radeon HD 6950 Twin FrozR II OC 2048MB
• 8GB Mushkin Blackline DDR3 1600MHz
• 1TB Seagate Barracuda SATA III Hard Drive
• Crucial m4 64GB SSD
• MSI Z68A-GD55-G3 Intel Z68 (REV B3) PCI-Express Motherboard
• 750W Corsair TX750 V2 ATX2.3 SLI/Crossfire Compliant Power Supply
• Corsair Carbide 500R Black Midi Tower Chassis
• Sony SH-S222AB/BEBE DVD ReWriter

As you can see, I'm putting a decent amount of money into this, so I'm wanting to get a decent amount out of it with good peripherals. Obviously, I need to stay within the budget of around £1275. The computer build costs about £1090 so you have about £185 to play with. I would like (if possible a 1920*1080 monitor)

What do you recommend? Thanks,
James :)
 
Asus VH242H 24" Widescreen LCD Multimedia Monitor - Black £131.99 (£109.99)

Saitek Cyborg V3 Gaming Mouse £21.98 (£18.32)

Logitech Ultra-Flat Keyboard (967653-0120) £12.98 (£10.82)

Sub Total : £139.13
Shipping : £11.75
VAT : £30.18
Total : £181.06

Keyboard is VERY cheap... but is it any good? Have you used it?
 
i've used logitech in the past and never had any problems.

reason it was so cheap was to fit into the budget of £185, could balance it out with the mouse if needs be, as theres not really any give in the monitor price.

if you havent had the pc built yet could you change things around to allow more to the budget , if so go with the Microsoft SideWinder X4 (£34.98 inc VAT).

I've found the 22" version of this monitor for £100... sidewinder here we come. Thanks for your help. :)
 
Thanks so much for the suggestions... I think I'll take a look at these and look some more. I have in fact melted no CPU's in the past. The pre-build just comes by default with the H80. :P Why is a monitor size difference of 2" such a big deal? I'm not trying to be rude or insolent, but surely that won't make too much difference... or will it?

P.S. Just watched a review of the R.A.T. 9... *Drool*
