I am indeed considering the monitor option right now :p
The samsung 23" looks great! Great price, has everything I need and fantasticly high resolution.

I believe buying this along with a GTX 280 cooler and OC it as much as I can will certainly help me out :)

As much as that 3x 24" monitors sounds fantastic!!! i simply have no room for even 2!! I need a new desk and a new location which I just don't have :(

SO that idea will have to wait lol.

Since I have 2 Hi-Fi TANNOY MERCURY speakers + a Yamaha reciever ready to get hooked up to my sound card. I suppose I could use my money on getting a sub for it. It should cost 100 euros I think! SO I will still have a 2.1 setup. Then slowly pay for 2 more speakers and front speakers for a proper 5.1 surround sound set up!
Although I do have the money to do that right now!! hmmm!!
Damn too many things in my damn head!!!
