Ow. Why a $240 motherboard? That's a hard one to justify price-wise.
I've been trying to get away from the $300+ video cards myself, though that's a personal choice. The going has been tough (*cough* $250 video card not much cheaper *cough*). I'll be working on that for a few upgrades, methinks.
Also, I'd recommend a Thermalright after-market video card heatsink, but I'm not 100% sure the Thermalright HR-03 GT fits the new G92-based cards. If I can confirm that, I'll add the heatsink and a 92mm fan to go with it.

Posting for great justice! (and public scrutiny before purchasing).
Edit: Removed Solo, sticking with the P182 case
I have a 19"...seems kinda unfitting for the system being built....but meh....my ergonomic keyboard still works (had it since college?)...and my roommate bought me a gaming mouse so I guess it's good...
wow Jon, you wake up really early!
I'm working on my game and looking at all of vinny's recommendations!
As a heads up, he was prepared to spend up to $2000 (~'.')~
Regarding the video card though, the GTS is the sweet spot to me, but I understand the monitor limitation. As a compromise, I recommend Chuck buy me a 3008wfp and he can take my 2405fpw.

Wow, that is nice. Volumetric clouds are pretty. Now if only I didn't have school and stuff to do I guess I can wait another year or so until I can afford to get a new system to play it.
I saw this on slickdeals today...dunno much about mobos...just browsed the reviews...for the asus board people seem to complain about the bios?...for the abit board...people complain of random funkiness and it dying randomly...thoughts anyone?
