Ok, so i'm building a new gaming PC, and probably won't be buying the parts till the end of February or early March. I need your input on this stuff. If you have suggestions please post them!

Case - Don't know yet, anyone know of a good case for under $150?

Processor - Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600 Kentsfield 2.4GHz LGA 775

Motherboard - ASUS P5E LGA 775 Intel X38 ATX Intel Motherboard
Newegg.com - ASUS P5E LGA 775 Intel X38 ATX Intel Motherboard - Retail

Video Card - 8800 GTS 512

Sound Card - not sure, I want surround sound though!

Speakers - Looking for good surround sound speakers

Memory - OCZ Reaper HPC 2GB (2 x 1GB) 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 800 (PC2 6400) Dual Channel Kit Desktop Memory

Monitor - Need some input, was thinking of this one.
Newegg.com - BenQ FP241VW Silver-Black 24" 6ms GTG DVI Widescreen LCD Monitor with Tilt Adjustment and 1:1 Pixel Mapping 500 cd/m2 1000:1 - Retail

Power Supply - CORSAIR CMPSU-520HX ATX12V v2.2 and EPS12V 2.91 520W Power Supply 100

Coolers - Tuniq Tower 120

Hard Drive - Not sure...

Also, is newegg the place to buy all of this, or should i look around?
 
switch 8800 GTX to 8800 GTS 512
Its cheaper and just as good due to the g92 chip in it. The GTX is too expensive for the performance.
 
Onboard Sound is adequte, go with a 8800gts g92 over the GTX, get the OCZ Reaper 4gb Kit over that kit you have, PSU: Corsair 520hx, Cooler: Tuniq Tower 120
 
I really like that monitor, will 800:1 or 1000:1 make a big difference, or the grey to grey?
 
slightly less contrast ratio, you won't see a difference really, unless your testing how bright your monitors can go, i would suggest sun glasses when your doing that :D
 
**** 6 bills for a 24 is insane. I'm sure the picture quality is nice but thats alittle too much. I've seen the Hanns G in person and it is really nice.
