Scorer,

Go to fatwallet and get yourself a $350 off coupon. Use it to buy a system priced at $1,000 or more. I put together a better system that costs less than what you're paying. I also bumped up the video card so in case you get a 30" monitor down the road your system can handle it. Then take the $350 you save and buy a standard 20" monitor at a local Best Buy or somewhere. You'll have the added benefit of being able to easily return/replace it if it has dead pixels.
