No body ever needs a full tower, look for those that can fit 5850 with good airflows
samsung f3 for better performance
650w is enough to power a 5850 and extreme overclocks along with 10 fucking fans
expensive HSF doesn't mean better performance, a hyper 212 can do the same
for the monitor, i would reccomand a 1920 x 1200 (16:10), since 16:9 is basiclly good for nothing
inb4 mx-2 cuz i'm a faggot
protip: if you have microcenter, they are selling i5 for $150 dollar along with some nice p55 mobo, look for p55A if you want USB 3.0, Sata 6gbs crap
Dell is also selling the 5850 for ~$250
http://accessories.us.dell.com/sna/products/Gaming_Video_Cards/productdetail.aspx?c=us&l=en&s=dhs&cs=19&sku=A3198515&dgc=CJ&cid=24471&lid=566643&acd=10550055-1225267-u733849t0f0fp29253c0s441
- 10% off code 1SC0KPSK$BN10J = $252
if you want cheaper ram, look for the ocz gold, they are only ~$70 after rebate
edit: even xfire 5850 don't takes 750w
also if you want to crossfire in feature, just go AMD build for full x16 bandwidth, p55 are split in 8x/8x

While it's good to save as much as you can, but it's still better off to run the PEG connectors directly from the PSU then rely on some molex-PEG adapters.
Also the price difference between these 2 PSU is just $20 dollars, I doubt OP will starve to death if he spends extra $20 bucks on the PSU he wants to get.
And Asus is planning to ship next week a USB 3.0/SATA 6Gb/s card for $30 bucks. It will have 2x USB 3.0 and 2x SATA 6Gb/s ports.
The card uses a PCIe x4 slot.
