Looks good!

I would amend the order and add a 640 gb Caviar green hard drive instead. This will help load your startup programs faster.

Yep, it should run Crysis pretty well indeed especially at 1680 x 1050.

If you don't want to get a monitor from PCS, then Amazon or Ebuyer are good places to start. Look at my monitor in my sig.

Nice build you have there. :)

Regarding Crysis, it depends upon the resolution but, to give you an example, it would be able to play it at 1920x1200 with everything set to "Very High" with no AA and be relatively playable. It might just make 2x AA. The framerates would still dip ocassionally though.

That's fantastic by the way as very few cards can tame the beast they call Crysis. You'll be able to max pretty much every other game out there right now with strong frame rates.

The LG M2362D is a fantastic monitor that meets your size requirements and includes a digital tuner for TV as well, plus every input under the sun. It would also look great with your case.

This one: I have ordered it and it's very nice. 2ms response perfect for gaming and has good reviews all over the web. Good brand to boot.

TBH, the IIYAMA E2271HDS 22" LED WIDESCREEN that pcs offers on most of it's builds is a total award winner and a gorgeous monitor. It's also the latest in screen tech, bieng an LED LCD, and with full HD and 2ms response time, all for £139 for one of the most respected and coveted monitor brands in the world, I fail to see how you can go wrong. Kudos to PCS for these amazing monitors ;)

Just took your advice and decided to spend my money on PCS with the IIYAMA E2271HDS 22" LED WIDESCREEN!! Couple of questions though if you can help, will i need to order a separate HDMI/DVI-D cable, does the screen have speakers and most importantly will it affect my delivery date of the PC on order as it's been in pre production since Tuesday??

Many Thanks

I know that the Iiyama monitors come with a DVI cable but I don't know if it's a dual link cable or not.

Think its single link, but dual-link isnt needed anyway, ample bandwidth in single link, even for the max resolution that that GPU can output at.

Single link is limited to a 1920x1080 resolution and 60hz refresh rate, dual link is for the extreme resolutions and 3D monitors.
