3. I have decided to get the OC2 version of the BFG 8800 GTX
4. LCD - will be LG 22" or 24" (if exist) - Dell has good deals but I believe the LG is better in quality.
First, why are you buying a 7.1 DTS Sound Card if you only plan to use a 2.1 setup? That's a waste of money. And as far as the video card, i'd go with EVGA because of their step up and warranty program. If you havent read up on BFG cards, and i know because i own one, the video card has a lifetime warranty, but the fan only has a 1 yr warranty, and if you replace the fan yourself instead of sending it in when it dies, you void the warranty on the card. Just my .02.
