    It depends a lot on how much you can / will spend for it, if you can post it here people can help you better.

    I'd probably see if you can budget a bit more.

    If you won't be buying it until Christmas, there's no point in speccing something out now. Odds are components will have changed completely by then.

    It might be an idea to do some research about some of the things you seem unsure about - monitor resolution, overclocking, etc. - in the meantime, and you'll have a better idea what you want by then.
