So here is the computer that I have been considering getting, I think the most demanding activity for it will be games, and I don't intend to overclock yet, but I think that I could in the future with this setup. I am certainly looking for ideas and suggestions from other people about the parts I have suggested, whether they are good or bad or whatever, with this it looks like for around 1350 I can it all, and a little more for a mouse, keyboard and some speakers.

I have a few questions about this already.
1. Should I keep the GTX 560 ti 448 core 1280mb or a little cheaper 2gb 560 ti or a little more expensive GTX 570? How great is the performance difference, compared to price?
2. How does the Samsung Spinpoint 32mb cache compare to a Western Digital Caviar Black 64mb cache?
3. What is the advantage of an LED back lit monitor? And is there any noticeable performance difference between 5ms and 2ms response time for a monitor?
Thanks Very Much!!
