Okay. I think I got my final rig sorted out :D.  Thank you everybody for the input! I can't wait for my purchase :)

You might want to tell us with what you've decided to go with before you buy. It'd be bad if you decided to pick different parts from out suggestions for an imbalanced build.

Okay. 

http://pcpartpicker.com/p/1Fxbw

Corsair RM850

Why the Trident X? Paying $45 more over the Ares just for looks?

Any particular reason you're getting the LG optical drive over the cheaper Pioneer one?

A RM750 will do.

 

Why 144 hz?

SP2500's are better quality speakers. Go with the z623 if you appreciate the bass instead and you can't aim the speakers at your head.

What type of performance can I expect from this rig? How long will it be maxing out games? I don't want to update my rig for a long time.

You'll be maxing out most games for quite a while.

I went that bluray burner due to a recommenation from my cousin (he has that burner)

I doubt you even need a dvd drive at all.

How about this? Just $20 more http://www.ebay.com/itm/330932578190?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1438.l2649

Is that a better monitor?

I updated the speakers to those.

Looks good. 2 displays would be better for productivity though.
