Here you go. Stronger cooler, better GPU and a 24" IPS 1000:1 1080p monitor

 

Edit: Also the PPI will not affect scaling, the resolution will and aspect ration and you have 4:3 + 16:9 

 

Will the NH-D15 fit in the Core 1000?

Trying to keep this build below $650, it is an upgrade, and I need the new Monitor (my primary broke not too long ago) and GPU (I mod too much, and my 7870 can't keep up). The more RAM would also be appreciated, as I am a power user as well as an editor. What would you change, and how much of a bottleneck would there be? http://pcpartpicker.com/p/4QGcNG (Anything marked 'purchased' is in use as I type, so I have it)

A few questions before I adjust this:

 

- Why only a 21.5" monitor?

- So 650 for just the GPU, Memory, CPU cooler and Monitor?

A 21.5" monitor is cheap, and the PPI is the same as my secondary right now, so there wont be any scaling problems

And yes only for the GPU, RAM cooler and Monitor. The RAM cannot change, as it is the same that I have right now, and I would like them to match, so I wont run into as many problems down the road.

The Strix wont fit in the Core 1000 and I would like a more higher end cooler if possible.
