CPU Cooler: Noctua NH-D14 65.0 CFM CPU Cooler ($81.99 @ Amazon)
-> Scythe Mugen 2 Rev. B -> Cools better and is a lot cheaper then the Noctua.
Motherboard: ASRock P67 Extreme4 Gen3 ATX LGA1155 Motherboard ($178.49 @ Newegg)
-> Don't get a P67 chipset, get the newer Z68 Chipset, especially when you're working with video (transcoding). The iGPU on the 2600k is about 2x as fast with transcoding as the 2600k itself. And only the Z68 can access it for transcoding while the P68 can't.
Power Supply: SeaSonic 650W ATX12V / EPS12V Power Supply ($139.99 @ Newegg)
-> I still would suggest using a 1000watt PSU, 650watt is too low if you want to go AMD Crossfire or Nvidia SLI with two videocards. The 1kW from Coolermaster is also modular and has the same price.
Haha well then this is a pretty decent monitor http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.as...6824160062
-> Dell 2412 24" IPS is better then this one, it's also 16:10 instead of 16:9 like this one.
You could always wait until Ivy Bridge drops, which is probably in April
-> Ivy Bridge is too expensive for it's performance (unless you're a performance freak...). Yes, it's faster (10%~20%) but about twice the cost, if not 3 or 4 times on the most expensive Ivy Bridge CPU.
nVidia is the way to go for graphic work (at least from what my knowledgeable friends tell me) and that card is a MONSTER
-> Nvidia cards also have my preference, especially since their drivers are updated a lot.
I love Corsair's cases, I have the 400R and my friend has the 600T. Easy to set-up, good airflow, and they are pretty
-> Corsair cases are REALLY good (if not best in market) but their price is REALLY high. But, if you want a REALLY good case, they're worth it. Otherwise, just go with the Coolermaster Silencio series.
--> And yeah, IF you buy the PC internal tech things, buy them all together at once. You can buy the non-tech stuff sooner or later though.
