I'm looking to try to get a computer for gaming, hoping to use it for a good 4-6 years and also looking to OC it. Wondering if this build would work out and if any parts would be better if it was changed.

Things I'm unsure of:

Cooler - No idea what's good.
Sound Card - I need a sound card that supports true 7.1 sound
Monitor - What's good? I'm looking for 1920 x 1080 at least, but higher and cheaper is good
Optical Drive - I just need it to play DVDs
Case - What case would be good?

I have a budget of around 2 thousand dollars, I don't really think i can build it myself though, and I'm thinking of going to SLS to get everything and ask someone to build it; the site is just for convenience and reference sake.

Hoping to get some advice and help! Appreciate any help

Um, question on the motherboard, can I make do with something like ASRock
Z77 Extreme4? I have a more limited budget

I want to run CS6 as well, so with almost the exact same build other than the motherboard as well as the power supply (Cooler Master Silent Pro Gold 800W 80 PLUS Gold Certified ATX12V / EPS12V Power Supply), would they run without making the system crawl?

Oh and if I need to get a sound card would I need to change the power supply?

Still got some problems going around...
