is this monitor good?
3700 San Diego -or- 3800 X2 Manchester
What memory?
Is there a cheaper mobo thats good enough? (probably not OC'ing)

For CPU, definetly get the X2 3800. Spec-wise, the monitor looks great. I've never heard of Chimei though. Go with the MSI K8N Neo4-F if you want cheaper, good, and reliable, and the overclocking options if you decide to in the future. Good video card, case, optical drive, and HDD. I'd go for this OCZ RAM over the Corsair XMS.

You did a good job of picking out your stuff overall. Everything's compatible and you picked out a lot of great parts.

Better Power Supply

Moniter
I Heard this Moniter is a good Deal, even though it more Expensive then the one you posted.
I have the 19" version.

 

[Fuxy_Muxy]

that monitor is a lot more expensive (like $70 or something) and doesnt seem that much better...

well this one looks pretty good...8ms, 600:1, good reviews...

and its only like $20 or $30 more than the Chimei one...it also is like a good brand (BenQ)

Well, this is the One I have, And I absolutly Love it for the Price I bought it at.

ViewSonic 19" WideScreen

 

[Fuxy_Muxy]

mhm...well i was looknig at the vx922 also...but that one is widescreen though...does that like effect gameplay of BF2 or CS:S?...also, does a 19in LCD look big to you? cuz my crappy 16ms 17in one looks tiny...

 

[Ste]

I Moved From a 16 Inch CRT so this one seems alot bigger. I play Really two games, Farcry And StarTrek armada 2, IMO the games are much more enjoyable on widescreen.

Its really cool in FPS, because the screen takes up more of your vision.

i wuoldnt go widescreen, the measurments for them is from corner to corner, so obviously it would be lacking some major height. i would just stick with the regular size
