First-Time Build

[migfart reborn]

I am building a new computer for the first time. Could you all please review my components and tell me if I have everything set. I am going to use a Samsung 226BW (Is this the best choice for no input lag?) as well, because I am an FPS gamer who cannot handle input lag/ghosting. I will also be using the monitor to game on my Xbox360.

Anyone know which of these two monitors would be best for first person shooters: Samsung 226BW or the BenQ 2400W? Thanks.

Acer P223Wwd- throw this one in as well, it seems competitive in input lag
