So the 25th I'm finally going to upgrade my computer and I thought I could leach a little on you guys =)

These are the parts I have in mind now:
Intel® Core i7-3820 Processor
Gigabyte GA-X79-UD3, Socket-2011
Noctua NH-L12 CPU Cooler
Sapphire Radeon HD 7950 3GB GDDR5
Corsair Dominator DHX DDR3 1600MHz 8GB
BenQ 21,5" LED GW2260HM

Any comments?

Demon posession is real and it's not funny, it's the creepiest thing you will ever experience.

I would also like to add I watch fox news everyday all day and will continue to watch it while being proud of that fact. I'm sure you enjoy your communist news network just as much.

I'm personally not a fan of Gigabyte mobos, and I tend to like Asus more due to the fact that their boards are pretty much bullet proof.

Also, the memory that you have there seems to be a bit pricy, try this one instead:

I got it and it is quite good, but overall your build seems quite nice Cheesy

lol, I would be happy when I would have such a machine. Somebody might say "why you not buy XY or ZA" but overall that are just
small tweaks. Overall I would definetly go with that machine.

Just as I have said before. You don't need a new GPU. I have a Radeon 4890 HD and it can run everything on the highest settings. When games actually do become more demanding, in a year or two, that's when you should invest in a new GPU. You'll get more performance for your money.

You have a really slow dual core CPU, they stopped making those like five years ago. So a new CPU is a good investment, you may even want to consider buying a better one. RAM is also a good investment. Why do you need a new monitor? at least buy a 24" http://www.komplett.se/k/ki.aspx?sku=768177

My GPU is half-broken, so yes I very much do need a new one. Pretty much every single game that I have crashes occasionally unless I play on the lowest settings possible, and even then my GPU dies out from time to time.

I need a new monitor because the one I have is showing signs of dying out soon. Also it has some other issues, like I cannot adjust the angle on it and only one shitty analogue port works on it.

I would do bitcoin mining as a hobby. Besides no one really knows what will happen with it on a longer timescale, like a few years.

Are you sure that you have crashes because of your GPU? Because that could be the result of just about any hardware or software problem.

I had the problems before I changed my motherboard+processor. I had the problems when I used another harddrive to run windows. I had the problems the last two formats of windows.

I did not have the problem when I put in another GPU (I had to return it though because of compatibility problems with my processor)
