Feedback: My new build

[Prototype]

You can just use my suggestions. You can remove one 4870 and you'll be under $2,000. I edited my post so you can look at it.

This build currently cost $1,772.83 without shipping which is under your budget.

You can get a 24" monitor Newegg.com - SCEPTRE X24WG-1080P Black 24" 2ms Widescreen LCD Monitor 300 cd/m2 4000:1 Built in Speakers - LCD Monitors

or another 4870 to crossfire

well, why decide to start from scratch? was my build that bad? Your scaring me here.

You will get more peformance for your money. It is almost the same build but cheaper. The perfomance should be the same.

THANKS TO EVERYONE FOR ALL YOUR HELP!!!

I would change the cooler to a Sunbeam Core contact, it cools better and comes with Tuniq TX-2 thermal paste which is better than as5.

Other than that it looks good.
