Welcome to the forums Taff!
What is your budget and what resolution will you be gaming at?

you won't spend nearly half that if you're only gaming at 1680x1050 unless you like wasting money. Have you thought about getting a higher resolution monitor?

I have actually and would really like too, but I have a hubby, who is insistent that I don't need a larger monitor lol
OK, so what do you propose if I have limitations on monitor size?

welcome to the forums :)
you dont have to have a huge monitor, if your res works for you, stick with it.
if you wanted a higher res, however, it doesnt have to come in a huge package... what monitor, exactly, are you currently using?
theres little reason to go over 2500 unless you have pretty specific needs, check this out as a good building block for a cool and quiet beast. you were not too specific in your needs, so i just went for an all purpose ass kicker
