Welcome to OCN! Sorry to hear about your other machine, I think we've all had one eventually give out. Your build looks pretty solid at the moment but give us a budget and preferred stores and we may be able to do a little better.

The only suggestion I have at the moment is for a different monitor. No need for speakers in it and 1440 x 900 isn't as nice as 1920 x 1080 or 1920 x 1200 in my opinion.

Thank you for the welcome. The reason why I chose a 1440x900 was because I wasn't really a fan of 1920x1200, it was too small for my liking. But that was on my laptop which was a 17", so that could have been why. I was planning to have my budget around $1,150-1,250. Just something to hold me over for the time being. I chose NCIX and Direct Canada is because they're in the same area as I am. Newegg's shipping fees were crazy for me.

I just plan to play games like Battlefield 3, Blade and Soul. I don't really care too much about having the most ultra of the ultra settings though.

Thank you very much

! Though I might look into getting another monitor, my friend also suggested I look into another. Since 1440x900 is "old".
