All I could say is grab new monitors once you're ready.
And IDK if you left it out, but you have no HDD listed? Are you only running that SSD?

Also there are other mounts instead of the Rhode that offer a nice desk mount that are cheaper.

Only problem I have with the build is the velociraptor HDD. Not really all that much better than a standard 7200RPM drive.

I hope you paint a mural of a frog on the wall to decorate 👍

Other than that, you could upgrade your sound system by getting an even better pair of headphones or a sound card/DAC to accompany it. Maybe pickup another Ultrasharp.

As for the flatscreen, what do you plan to do with it? You could probably pick up a cheap RCA LED TV for cheap if it's not anything fancy.

I bought the Dell UltraSharp just to have an alright monitor until I can afford a couple of really nice ones. My second monitor is just a really old monitor I had lying around. It's so old that it's VGA only. =P I can't really survive without dual monitors.

I also ended up finally taking some photos today. I wish I were a better photographer to do this build justice. The full album of photos can be found here. (Click to View)















I'm going to decorate my walls and room eventually. I painted my walls white and bought a bookshelf for my figurines a couple of weeks ago. Slow progress. I built the desk and bookshelf by myself. I'll take photos of the rest of my room some other day.

My next few purchases:

Green Screen
Rode NTG2 Condenser Shotgun Microphone
Behringer Xenyx 802 Premium 8-Input 2-Bus Mixer
RODE PSA1 Swivel Mount
MXL 990 Condenser Microphone with Shockmount
Elgato Game Capture HD

Also, what sound system would you guys recommend? My current speakers are crappy Altec Lansing speakers that were manufactured in ancient times. I'm looking for a nice flat screen TV to put above my monitors as well, so if you know anything about that, I'd like to receive some advice.

As for the flatscreen, I plan to watch movies and play games on it. General entertainment stuff. I'm not the type to go for cheap things though. :C

Can't say much about the rest.
