I'd change the i7 to an i5-3570, which is perfect for gaming. Then upgrade the case for better cooling

Very nice! Got the same monitor and it is excellent for 3D gaming, did you choose silver warranty? You need at least 750w to add another GTX 670 later on.

Yes I got silver warranty, I doubt i'll SLI it. If i needed to upgrade later I would just buy one card. In regards to the case would the NZXT PHANTOM 410 BLACK GAMING CASE be better. The only thing I noticed with that one is it has a 3 way fan control already on it so would I still be able to keep the controller I ordered or would I have to remove the one I ordered, Not that it bothers me too much either way.
