This build all together would run me (without the blu ray player or the i975) about $2000.
The monitor is not included in this price as I will be getting a deal through my work for it. Thing is they only have a selection of 1920x1080 resolution screens right now and I don't want to wait until a 1920x1200 comes out.
As far as the 5970 goes, I really can't justify downgrading because the 5870 will get the job done. I'm looking into this as more of an investment so it will still be a great card in the future playing the best of games.
