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.

Arguing on the internet is like winning the special Olympics. Even if you win you're still a 'tard!

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.
