video card suggestions

Yeah that includes the monitor and the 560Ti; good to hear that most of the parts come with warranties.

As for windows if pro/ultimate have no benefits than i guess i just get the bare minimum? There's a windows for $55 but idk if it gives everything since all the others are so much more ($110+)

I am not sure what that $55 Windows version is, but the one you would likely want to buy is Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit OEM which is ~$100.

Well that's what I've got so far, all together just over $1200. If any of those are subpar or incompatable or something let me know because i wouldn't know any better. I hope that all looks pretty good though, wouldn't shock me if i need to change a part or two however.

I would suggest you take a look at the Fractal Design R3 line of cases, with the setup you have, they are about the best you can get if you also value a quiet computer.

For CPU cooling, since you are not going to overclock, the extra CPU cooler is not needed, but if you do not want to use the Intel cooler that comes with the CPU, you should look to the Scythe Mugen 2 or 3 cooler, as that is the best price/performance you can get at the price level you are looking at.

Finally, I suggest you post this build on tom's hardware New Build Forum using the How To Ask For New Build Advice template, and you will likely get a lot of good input and help in combos if possible to cut price.

Sweet I'll have to check them out against the one i picked for now.

I don't need the cooler? That's awesome, saves me $50!

Alright thanks man I'll have to check that site out then.

All said and done with what I have how well will my PC run games and such? And how easily upgradable will it be in the future?
