I would go with a the gigabyte p45-ud3p/r over the 780i to save a little cash if you're not planning to sli. You could use that money to upgrade to an E7400.

EDIT: is that a GTX or a GTX+?! reviews say its a gtx+ but product says GTX

good luck with your 3.8-4.0ghz overclock

The average one will get 3.5GHz, or around there.

I'd second that if you must go Nvidia. Getting a Gigabyte UD3P and a 4850/4870 would be a better choice for a budget. The Gigabyte board has top notch overclocks at a low price, $115. CrossFire two 4850's or 4870's will give you enough processing power for most everything.
Is modular that important to you? A Corsair 650w is only $70.
OCZ Freeze and Arctic Cooling MX-2 are both considered better than Arctic Silver 5.
For that price, a Cooler Master 690 is a better choice imo. In a budget, get a Cooler Master 590 ($60).

edit: Wow Cooler Master 690 has dropped $10 since I checked ten minutes ago. It's now $80.

u can get 22" LCDs for $30 more and they are much nicer.

i benefit having 2 screens as i can write a report on one screen and research on the other

 

[crashnburn_819]

Here's a higher res 19". It has free shipping which makes it even cheaper than the monitor in op.

depends on your chip, motherboard, cooling and of course, your skill in overclocking.

Good luck with that

i have had 500FSBs on 2 780is so its possible to OC good on them.

 

[StarryNite]

$129 Acer 19" widescreen+high resolution (1680x1050 native, and can go upto 1920x1200 non-native) ... http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16824009127 ... Get two of them for even more room.

 

[crashnburn_819]

OR you could go 1920x1080. Literally Newegg just dropped $10 and added free shipping after I refreshed the page. I'd recommend waiting like 10 minutes for Newegg to finish dropping prices before you buy anything
