Here are the parts

Is there anything I should change? If so what do you suggest?

Also, I've been looking at the Acer H236HL monitor. Is this a good choice? What monitor under $200 would you recommend?

The psu is not very good. The 550w ts xfx is better and costs less but not modular. Not need for the wd black I'd get a wd blue or a Seagate barracuda. With savings from not getting the black you could get a evga b2 750w that would support a 2nd 970 in sli if you want to upgrade.

It's just a bit over 200
