Total Cost (with optional features) - $934 (with $89.99 MoBo) $984 (with $134.99 MoBo)

Conclusion - Its a little over what my budget is but I can make it work. The monitor of course can be taken down to a 20" instead and save $40. The Cooler I'm not sure if I will need it buying the Superclocked GTX 560 Ti. Wireless adapter may not be needed but it will be put in the budget later on as well if needed. If there is any other way to save money by switching parts please let me know. :)
