And later on I will buy a nice headphone, don't know which one yet.

At the moment I use an small 1440x900 19" screen, but later on I will upgrade to some 1080p+ screen

I will use it for 3D modelling, photoshop, video editing, but the mean part it will be for gaming.

Should you recommend it?

Seems fine, but if you're doing lots of gaming I would recommend a second 680

Why? That should give him more than enough power for gaming.

i woud say that two gtx 660 ti's are beter then one 680 and performance per dolar is higher, bur there is no need for 2x 680 until you ment to have infinity !
