Check my post i have mentioned 22'' Monitor.
BTW as u still have 1.5k left so u can go for Gigabyte GA-880GM-UD2H for 1k more. It will be better than the 785 board as u are not adding a GPU now.

bhushan05d251,
i think 4GB should be suggested coz with 2GB OP can at max upgrade his RAM to 6GB. So, plz edit and make this change.

BTW,
are the FSP cables long enough to be placed at the bottom is CM-430. I am asking so coz i heard FSP has shot cables that are not sufficient for being placed at the bottom.

Yup i know...but his budget exceeds...yes, he can save 1k for another 2GB RAM by selecting Bijli instead of Gamma case...:) but for this rig, gamma will be a better choice...he has to increase budget lil bit...:) it's now on OP completely...

BTW,

i guess yes...read in some other thread

saga ii 350w = saga ii 400w = short cables
saga ii 500w = long cables
