Why Frodo, I didn't realize you had monitor envy.
It's a 30" by the way and can be a bit big sometimes, not for quakelive though.
time for an upgrade!

Why no SSD or even some caviar blacks would be much better than the greens.
Do you need 32gb of ram? - Running that low end ram can hurt your performance if you intend to overclock because of its lax speed.
What res will you be running? - Those 590s would be useless if it's anything under 5760x1080.
Not something I would build with that sort of budget.
Edit: Actually looking at that ram it's fairly high specced - but still - 32gb is wasted unless you are doing some heavy HD video editing.

Here is something I would build with what's currently available.
ASUS Maximus IV Extreme Z - $419
Intel Core i7 2600K - $319
Corsair CMT8GX3M2A1866C9 8GB (2x4GB) Dominator GT - x2 kits $300
Samsung 830 Series 128GB SSD - $249
Western Digital Green 2TB WD20EARX - $129
ASUS GeForce GTX 560Ti DirectCU II TOP 1GB - x2 @$279 each
or EVGA GeForce GTX 580 3GB [03G-P3-1584-KR] - $669
Corsair Hydro Series H80 CPU Cooler - $139
Enermax Platimax 1000W EPM1000EWT - $329
560 SLI option - $2442
580 Option - $2553
Go for the 560s if you would only be running 1080p resolutions or lower - Get huge performance with this setup.
580 Option if you want to run higher resolutions and retain good performance - You could even SLI these up if you want insane power - But you would need to upgrade the PSU aswell.
I would never touch a dual core card (590s) - They run incredibly hot and require huge ammounts of power from the psu - Like I said unless you are only running insanely high resolutions all the time they are wasted.
