I still do agree though that you need to upgrade the monitor. Partially agree on video card just as long as you know you are getting the new monitor within a month's time frame if you have to budget.

@Mussels

Sorry, it's been a bad week you were just at the blunt end of it. For that I am sorry. Also I do understand what you're saying but the GPU would just have "more work" to accomplish. Wasn't implying the cpu wasn't important. One of those cases people read too much into context. ;)

I have this monitor, and it has performed flawlessly. I moved up from a 15" Sylvania, it was a bigger "yahoo!!" moment than most of my upgrades. You'll flip out. I'd MAKE room for a bigger screen. Let nothing stand in your way:rockout:

LOL. 21.5" would fit PERFECTLY tho. Was searching for smaller screens so I would be comfty with the space.:) Dang, I feel like my PC is @ the 1990's or something (now that mussels said that he had a 90mhz pentium w/ 16mb ram on 15") lol.

Do it. Having a bigger monitor is a great way to upgrade your PC and your gfx card is just calling out for a better monitor!
