a 19 inch crt monitor should do fine it doesn't matter which one really, as long as you get one that has .25 dot pitch or less diagonally. here is one http://www.newegg.com/app/ViewProductDesc.asp?description=24-191-004&depa=1
$159 USD
I priced out you system as best i could, (model numbers would help lol) and it came to $1198(that is approximate since i don't know the exact dvd drive, and i am assuming the cpu is retail) add $399 and you get the price with that lcd monitor. or you can get the crt, which are better for gaming, and with the money you save, you can get a 6800 GT
the xfx GT is $418 and the albatron GT is $403
with the crt monitor and the XFX GT it comes out to ~$1616
also, don't forget S&H
