Then you can build your whole plan around it . Upgrade cpu, add vid card , change case .... ect. But your monitor stays constant . But just ones opinion .

woowoo
just keep the cpu and ram around the same performance isntaead of paying more for one of them (if you're gaming a lot). RAM should always be a good amount though.

The most important part of a PC and coincidentally, the most difficult to upgrade, is the USER.
Without them, most computers would be just fine.

Video Card, CPU, RAM, Power Supply, Monitor, not neccesarly in that order. The PSU is an imporntant and overlooked component but really you don't need a 500W power supply if you just have middle of the range components. Right now I run a 6800GT off a 320Watt stock power supply and although i'm getting a new one it doesn't really give me any hassles. Monitor was the first thing I upgraded, try to get something quality.
