Solution
There will be no performance difference between PCIe 2.0 and PCIe 3.0 UNLESS you will use more than one GFX card in SLI/Crossfire. If so, make sure you get a good motherboard that is crossfire/sli ready. And is able to run PCIe in 8/8 lanes.

I'm not a monitor expert. But I have been comparing prices and 20" and 24" are priced almost the same. So I will be buying a Benq 24" 2450.

PSU quailty is important. Especially when overclocking. Make sure you pick a good model.

For the case, look at the product details. It will say if it supports ATX, micro-ATX(mATX) motherboards. You should buy a regular ATX motherboard for the FX-6300 since those motherboards will perform better with overclocking.

I don't know so much about what...
