lets try this again ... new build v2

[moe13]

So after some advice and a little waiting, i've changed around my build somewhat. Any advice is greatly appreciated.

so far I've come up with:

Antec nine hundred
Antec TruePower New TP-750 Blue 750W Continuous Power
Core i7 2600k LGA 1155
COOLER MASTER Hyper 212 Plus RR-B10-212P-G1
P8P67 Deluxe LGA 1155 P67 ATX Intel Motherboard
CORSAIR XMS 8GB (2 x 4GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800)
Intel SSD - 120GB
Western Digital Caviar Black WD1002FAEX 1TB 7200 RPM 64MB Cache SATA 6.0Gb/s 3.5"
LITE-ON Black 8X BD-ROM 16X DVD-ROM 48X CD-ROM
EVGA 012-P3-1570-AR GeForce GTX 570 (Fermi)
ASUS VH232H Glossy Black 23" 5ms Widescreen Full HD 1080p LCD Monitor
Windows 7 home premium

My main questions:

1) video card - i know nearly nothing about the different options out there. my gaming is limited on the PC but i definitely want the ability to play Diablo 3 when it comes out and have it look amazing

2) SSD boot drive - how much space do i really need?

3) the monitor - i'm planning on trying to get 2 monitors for a dual screen setup, is the above a good choice?

also, the only item i already own above is the Antec case so that won't be changing. everything else is up for discussion.

any all and all thoughts greatly appreciated!

The 120gig SSD is about right for an OS and apps.
Asus monitors are good monitors.
I'll wait until a video card person chimes in with your card choice.

That is an awesome gaming video card, EVGA are good however Asus has much better customer support and I believe better cards.
I have yet to build a machine with an SD card that did not develop a problem within the first 90 days, the technology is just not there yet. I would say if you must go SSD Intel is your best choice but for reliability I would go with a WD Black like this one Newegg.com - Western Digital Caviar Black WD6402AAEX 640GB 7200 RPM 64MB Cache SATA 6.0Gb/s 3.5" Internal Hard Drive -Bare Drive
