Hey Guys,
 
I would like to place this order tomorrow, just need your advice on a couple of things. The configuration I have now is listed below. It is build # 442171. I don't plan to do any gaming, so I need advice on the video card I selected. I upgraded to the Asus P6X58D mobo. Is this a better choice than the EVGA  X58 SLi 3 edition or should I save the $63.00. Wasn't sure on cooling selection. Is my monitor choice a good one? Lastly, is there a case that odes not have such a gaming look that will work for this configuration?
 
Thanks for your help.

alright the post is pretty run together and its hard to pick through at work but for a build like that you definitely do not need to go over the egva sli 3 mobo, in fact, without games, unless you are doing some super huge audio editing, you would probabaly be fine on a 40 gig SSD
 
id definitely reccomend getting a sound card if you are audio editing
 
as a general rule its a good idea to avoid ordering monitors/mouse/keyboard here. it will add to your shipping costs, its not covered under the warranty, and you can find better price/selections/warrantys elsewhere
 
the video card is fine for what you are looking to do, but keep in mind that its pretty low end, if you are ever going to consider a game id say spend the extra 80 for a gtx 460 768mb

post back if you decide to change the build around, and also with some reference to the amount you are looking to spend/save
