So I'm building this.  I have all the parts already. I just need to build it. Can I see what you guys think. Also, is there such a thing as an affordable 1440p monitor for  gaming? I would like suggestions.

although it is not on the list, I also have a Samsung EVO 120GB ssd, which I will be using for the os.  I plan to dual boot Arch Linux and Windows 7. Hopefully I can do it, i've been hearing tales of woe cuz of UEFI and dual booting win and *nix systems.

Does everything fit inside that case?

Case has 180mm of CPU cooler space, and the CPU cooler is only 150mm... So theoretically, yes.

The ROG monitor is going to be crazy expensive...

Also, most cards have a hard time pushing 1440p at max settings. 144 fps is a pretty big stretch.

I read somewhere that it's going to be around US$800. So I'm going to pass on that.  I would like something better than 1080 for gaming because I figure it would be a sin to do it with that resolution with that beast of a video card.

Yeah it's not really worth it, a few months after it's released when other companies have their offerings out the price should drop pretty dramatically I'd imagine.
