To be honest I am having trouble understanding exactly what help you need but I'll try.

Core items:
2) I have the RC590 and am very impressed with it. The 690 also looks good. I went with the 590 due to the placement of the USB ports. I needed them on the front of the case, not the top.
3) The UD5 is very popular and would likely be my choice between the two you mention.
6) No need to go with 1600 RAM since you are not OCing. Get the cheaper memory.
All the rest sounds good.

I prefer APC UPS. I have a couple of their 550VA units at work and a larger 850VA at home.

well actually i was confused about the motherboard PSU and UPS and also the case
i mean is 800w PSU sufficient for my hardware
plus should i go in for any cooling solution or not
like the coolermaster v8 or maybe something else if better.

and which 19" monitor shud i buy
i hear dell monitors are good

and should i go in for the 64bit Vista or stick with my current 32bit

Corsair TX750 or 850 are better quality PSUs; however, GTX260 in SLI is extreme overkill for a 19" monitor (even 1 is overkill). A Corsair VX450 and GTS250 would be plenty.

Since you're not OCing the only reason to get a cooler is for quieter operation. Noctua NH-U12P SE1366 is very quiet, as is the Scythe.

32bit is fine with only 3GB of RAM.

+1 to all of that, though you may want to just opt for the 260 for future games, etc. that'll need just a bit more power (and it beats spending the money upgrading for such a small price difference, but large performance difference). Also helps later on if you upgrade monitor resolution, whether it be 19" or 22", etc. Might want to check out the XFX 260 Black Edition (best factory overclocked card I can think of, plus their dual lifetime warranty if you ever plan on selling it), or instead an EVGA card if you plan to personally overclock it, since EVGA's warranty is second to none really (for the original purchaser anyways ).
