Brand new PC Build

Get bigger monitors.

As for the components, I've been out of the game for a while, so I can't bring any valuable opinions to the table.

Monitors are a bit small for my taste, but to each his own.

I would recommend you get the R9-390 instead of the GTX 970, as Coyote also suggested in a previous thread. However, even better would be to wait until May/June for the next crop of graphics cards, if you can...

That case is really for super-low budget builds. Right off the bat, you have to remove a drive bay in order to fit any normal size graphics card. Airflow is bare minimum basic in that case as well. It's a fine case, just kind of stands out among the rest of the components. Fractal R4 or R5 is my default selection when I do $1,000 part lists for people.

PSU is fine, but since you selected a motherboard with extra bells and whistles that supports SLI, you could start with a PSU that's already adequate for two GPUs (unless you're certain you'd never want to do SLI/crossfire).

Everything else is good, and even if you went with the build as is, there's nothing egregious.
