I'm really considering selling the 970 and mobo and buying an i5 2500k and p67 mobo.  I don't really use all 6 cores (12 threads). Plus the 2500k overclocks REALLY well.

Not just you. Since I started travelling frequently between countries a few years ago, I only use laptops due to their ease of mobility. It pissed me off at first, but soon after my desktop died I never looked back. Almost everything portable now: Laptop, 2.5" external hard drives, USB tvtuners, etc.
 
I've learned I used to buy things a lot more powerful than I would ever need (since I rarely game), so I prefer to save my money to something else. 

I also noticed how much unnecessary stuff I used to have (and carry around). I do miss having a desktop though, but when I decide to buy one, it will most likely be a cheap media center connected to a nice TV and what not.

Just to comply with the thread I'll post my main laptop specs (3 or 4 year old now):
 
- Core 2 Duo T5550 (1.83Ghz)
- Nvidia GeForce 8400M GS (256MB)
- 4GB DDR2 (Samsung)
- Realtek HDA ALC268 (Double Streaming)
- Toshiba HDD 320GB, 5400rpm, Sata-II
- LG Philips 15.4" LCD (BrightView)
- Integrated Webcam and Stereo Microphone
 
It is usually accompanied by:
- Remote Control
- USB Bluetooth
- Generic 2.4Ghz Mouse or a cheap Logitech wired one
- Xbox360 Gamepad
- USB DVB Tv-Tuner
- Two 2.5inch external hard drives (100GB pata & 160GB sata)
- HP Stereo Headset (now dead, will be replaced - hopefully today - by Sennheiser HD238 Precision)
- Two usb Modems from two different countries (Mobile Internet)
- A bunch of different cables for different stuff lol

I bought a Dell U2410 H-IPS monitor and a Filco ninja tenkeyless keyboard with cherry brown switches for my birthday. Its a smaller monitor, but man does it look better from below. It also makes the bookshelf speakers sound much better sitting inbetween.

24" monitor ... smaller? I know monitor sizes continue to creep up, but that's not really a smaller monitor lol. I would really like one or two! Though I don't care so much about size as pixel density. Really wish they'd stop pushing the HD resolutions on computer monitors.

That's what I meant; His rig is very costly, so I'm suprised he still has enough money left to buy a headphone rig after buying his PC.

My last monitor was a 27.5" Hanns.G. It was twisted neumatic which had bad clouding from the back lighting and horrible miscoloration at off angles and bad shadow detail. I don't miss it. It is very highly rated on newegg, mostly because its huge for the price and has a quick response time. Those users must have no idea what they are missing.

24" is fairly large, but its nice to be able to sit back at the studio desk and easily read the forums with the monitor on the shelf using a 1900x1200 resolution. If I had anything lower then 23" the monitor would have to be at my face to make it possible and my blu-ray and games would all be scaled down from what they could be.

and my blu-ray and games would all be scaled down from what they could be.

Why would that be? Most 23" monitors have 1920*1080 resolution.
And I personally don't mind having my screens close to me. Maybe because I'm pretty much forced to, since my middle screen is a touch screen, and as we all know: Touchscreens do not work when you can't reach them.

Ha, yeah I can see how that's a step down in size, but overall the Dell 24" is a better monitor IMO. They do offer monitors below 23" now with 1920x1080, but if you're using it for viewing movies that would still be rather small. I have a separate 42" TV for that stuff, and an old 20" Dell Ultrasharp that runs 1600x1200.  I use my monitor a ton and I'm anywhere from 18" to 3ft away. I'm close enough to notice the difference. It bugs me that I pretty much have to go to 24" IPS and spend a lot of money to upgrade because pixel density just isn't important to manufacturers anymore.
