Thoughts on this build?

Evanator12

Looks almost good, but i would get an Samsung 860 evo for the ssd instead, it will be faster,

and as for the psu, i would get a 650 watt, but GOLD certified instead. It will be the same price, but it will be more efficient, and your build wont use more than 400 watts anyways.

RM650i for example.

I only see your reply if you @ me.

Not bad, though I'd spend a little more money and grab a GSync monitor, and perhaps a 1TB SSD. You can save money by grabbing a 2600 over the x and OCing it yourself.

I'd downsize the PSU. That's mad overkill.

Well, the SSD is bundled with the RAM on newegg so I just went with it. I'll swap the psu as well. 

can you recommend a monitor around the same price range?

This is a similar price although it is a TN panel instead of IPS. Still Freesync but certified to work with Nvidia gpu's.

It's a Freesync screen but you get G-Sync support with a driver update.
