between LCD and LED is basically unnoticeable
Totally not true, I have this client who's a photographer and his laptop was replaced with a Samsung LED panel, he told me the colors aren't calibrated correctly, because the colors he was using to edit the picture were totally different from the one he printed out. Same picture completely different colors. LED screens have more pure white in them because they don't use florescent lights, but because of that the colors are becoming uneven but at the same time not noticeable to normal people like us. He had an old desktop PC with this Viewsonic LCD (not TFT) monitor, so I hooked it up and made the screens duplicate each other, turns out, the Windows 7 welcome screen isn't 100% blue, it turned out to be a greenish blue.
Also, Samsung is the leader of having the best screen panels in the market. Have you used an LG and a Samsung monitor at the same time ? LG monitors tend to loose their color brightness and sharpness overtime. Whereas Samsung stays the same.
I'll grab a seperate fan, I didn't choose it because it's best for gaming or anything, just because it's simply the "best", and i'm willing to spend the extra money on it. You're right about the VGA, 670 would be better, but after reading the reviews I honestly decided the performance difference was small, small enough that when that difference started to matter I'd then want to get a new graphics card alltogether. My #1 choice was the HD 7950 but pcandparts don't have it and I don't want to give myself a headache ordering each part form somewhere else.
A separate fan is still not available in our markets, in fact MrClass got an LGA 2011 CPU and he's having trouble finding a cooler, he made a
topic about it. And the 3820 is not "The best" it's the lowest end LGA 2011 socket, and trust me, you wouldn't need anything above a 3570 unless you're a person who does a lot of photo/video editing, then I'd suggest you get a 3770 (Yes still Ivy Bridge and not 2011) The latest high end and best chipset around is on Ivy Bridge anyway, LGA 2011 has limited motherboards and it's very hard to find the perfect one (Especially in Lebanon), there's this guy on YouTube who does unboxings everyday and it took him ages to find a motherboard. They all have coil whine or very loud chipset fans. He does video rendering everyday and he upgraded from a 980X and he still thinks it's way to overkill for him. A 980X has the same performance of a 2600, and the 3770 is slightly faster than that aswell. Getting LGA 2011 would be a complete waste. Getting a higher end LGA 1155 CPU will cost you cheaper and you still won't feel any performance differences.
Is anything above 60 FPS really noticeable to the human eye? I never really thought about it tbh. Other than that, the monitor caps at 1680x1050 which is a waste, would rather have a screen allowing 1920x1080.
The 660Ti is a crippled 670. It is awesome, compared to the price, but since it's limited to 192-bit memory, it causes a bottleneck of itself. Games that run great now, won't run so great in the near future, which means you will upgrade very soon. The 670 would be an awesome gaming card, but if you find a 7970 for the same price, just grab it without a thought, because they overclock like a BEAST and be faster than a 680. Not to mention you'll be dealing with the highest end AMD card. AMD cards perform a lot better than Kepler, they play high resolution games (Bigger than 1080p) very well, meaning future games would run 60+FPS no problem.
About the monitor, sorry, I didn't realize that the monitor wasn't at 1080p, but yes in some cases it is noticeable. When you have big explosions in games, your frame will drop down to 30FPS from 60! , but when you're playing at 100+ FPS your frame won't go below 60FPS, giving you a more fluid gaming experience.
If you have played on a 120Hz monitor then you would feel the difference. According to these 2 video's
here and
here. If you watch them, you would see that, a person who hasn't played on 120Hz before can't tell the difference between 60 and 120Hz, but the person who has played can tell the difference. Also note that If you buy a 60Hz monitor, you would have to enable Vsync on so that it doesn't go above 60FPS, because if it does, it would cause tearing, which means the picture will be teared, for example the person's head in the game will be detached from his body.
But bare in mind that you limiting your monitor to 60FPS means you'll be gaming below 60FPS meaning you would game around 30s-40s-or 50s.
