    Computer build - looking for input on part selection.

    Have 1200, but really only looking to spend 1100 max. I will list what I have picked out below so far.

    Looks good, but here are some pointers:

    - Drop down to a 600W PSU. Really, you do not need a 700W unless you plan to SLI.
    - Use the money saved to get a non-reference GTX 560 ti (i.e. with an aftermarket cooler, for example the MSI Twin Frozr card). I would recommend the HAWK edition: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16814127578
    - An aftermarket heatsink for the 2500k if you plan to overclock is recommended.

    Also, do you need a monitor?
