Common stupidity done by people, buy massive cheap monitor with gigantic resolution and then nothing can properly keep up with it. Also running non-native reoslution on LCD is a very bad idea because image will be crap. Really crap. Stick with the 1280x1024. I had it till half a year ago and it was fine. I just got bored of it and wanted the 144Hz one (which I have now). Great thing with such resolution is that you can run ANYTHING at Ultra settings even on weaker graphic cards. And unless you're really sensitive to screen size, it'll still be perfectly fine.

Nice way to express your opinion man... And you certainly can run lower res with same aspect ratio with very little loss. You can get a quality 1920x1080 screen for around $150.00. Then you lower in-game settings.

I don't understand the point of spending more money to only lower settings. They already have a monitor, a processor, and a motherboard. The best thing they can do is use what they have and enjoy it. She is not a hardcore gamer, she will be fine. Down the road if she wants to get more into it, they can upgrade.
