Add in Winxp Home and it's $1294.

So, offer comments on everything I have so far. I'd really like to hear comments on the memory, power supply, and the fan for the heatsink, I wasn't at all sure what to get. Now, my last question, the monitors I'm torn between are the Hyundai L90+D and the Viewsonic VP191b. Any chance either of these will go on sale soon, particularly the VP191b? I'm coming from gaming on a dell laptop, and didn't notice any ghosting or anything on that, so I'm sure the Hyundai would be good enough, I just can't seem to decide between the 2. For a while I thought about going with the 2005fpw, but I know that both the Hyundai and Viewsonic are better for gaming. If the Viewsonic went on sale it would make my decision so much easier. Now, I would've liked to keep my total under $1900 with tax and shipping costs, but I don't know if that'll happen with the Viewsonic, but close enough.

So, the Hyundai is $342, which would make my total $1636.

If I go with the Viewsonic, which is $456, which would bring my total to $1750.

So, any comments, changes, suggestions, etc, please post em. Thanks.

Edit: I thought about going with the connect3d x800l at monarch, but I figured the ati brand must be as good as, if not better than connect3d, so I can swallow paying $10 more.
