Havent really kept up with this thread to much.
-I have the same monitor. The 4870 is more than enough and you will find you dont need the x2.
-I wouldnt get anything cept the WD6400AAKS or comparable drive from another company for price, going with a raptor etc for most is too pricey for the preformance gain if any over the AAKS series.
 
hmm, I thought it would be better to have faster one, so that once i install and copy files it goes faster and run windows faster hmm.
Anything else? I want to order pc tomorrow so I'm sorry if I'm pushing things a bit but I'm dieing for it :(
 
Any single drive faster than the $80 WD6400AAKS probably isn't worth it unless its a Samsung F1.
 
Ok then.

I'll place order for this tonight.
But should I get 1kw psu?

I have 2.5k budget for this PC and I don't want to screw up
 
No you don't need a 1000W PSU. That 750W PSU will be enough.
 
Here is my final configuration. Anything I should change? Got few hours to do so.
