yep, all very good points. when it comes to NVIDIA cards, I usually recommend eVGA, XFX, or BFG.....and while I love Corsair, the OCZ is a good trade off.

Nothing wrong with that monitor....you'll be fine with anything less than a 12ms response time, and won't really see a difference under 8ms. View Sonic is about the best, HP and Samsung are both better values.

It wasn't the response time I was talking about contrast ratio. I do agree though, anything less than 8ms should be fine and dandy. But that 20.1" LCD you listed looks pretty nice.

You may also consider saving $200 and getting the more modest but still very powerful 8800GTS instead of the outragious power consumption, heat, and price tag of the GTX. You could get a bigger monitor or nicer speakers or something witht the $200 you save on the GTS over the GTX.
