Don't buy a 19" monitor. Get a 20" widescreen one, they're hardly any more expensive and give you a much higher display resolution for a better picture and more desktop space to work with :)

I don't trust OCZ RAM. I'd get this instead: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820145184

The case is fine, but currently out of stock. If it comes back very soon, great, but if not (and I don't expect it will until the savings end) I'd go with one of these, as in my mind it is a better designed case than the 900 and cools just as well:

The motherboard you chose was great, but is now discontinued, and has been replaced by this, also an excellent buy:

The rest of your choices from that point are all excellent.

Thank you SO much!! You're a huge help.. what brand of PC monitors do you recommend? Also, with the motherboard, when it says the memory standard is DDR2 1200, does that mean the RAM has to be the same?

No, it means it suppports up to 1200mhz, so that and any speed below it, provided it is DDR2, will be fine.
I recommend Dell and Samsung PC monitors.
