I probably will wait until October if things go right if not i may not be able to until the beginning of 2010.
Right now the size of my monitor is 15" i belive. I could have had a 17" for the same price but they were out it made me mad.
I am planning on getting a new monitor somewhat bigger.
I guess my first answere answers this one. If not let me know.
I play like WRPG, Sim games. But i'm wanting to get more into PC gaming a little so i may move up and start getting games like GTA or others for the PC.
Thanks for the help. And i like the PC you showed me it would be perfect.

Hmm...
Are you interested in 3d technologies? (Nvidia has been doing a recent push for that)
As something of a solid spec for a 24" monitor and the latest technology for under $1500 from a bought PC you've got:
- AMD Phenom II or Core i7 Quad core (2.6Ghz +)
- 6/8GB Ram
- 640GB+ HDD space
- AMD HD 5870 (or so)
- Windows 7
- 24" LCD monitor with HDCP
Sounds pretty reasonable to me.
For a high end system the key is to be able to achieve 60fps for all your games at least initially (IMO).
Since you're going to be waiting, I would suggest looking at the monitor now as thats the one part not really subject to change.

I noticed this monitor on Newegg for example, its had excellent feedback there though you might want to check it up on more professional reviews. This is just an example btw.

I think i may get a monitor soon. Then i won't have to add that to the price later. I really want to get a new PC but everything can change in that time so money may get low by then or maybe more lol.
But yeah the monitor you shown looks really good. I may get a big on then.
Also what about TV monitors working with computers. Like could you get a 42" TV that works with a computer and use them together?

If you have a 1920x1080 HDTV with HDMI or DVI ports, it will work fine as a monitor although your comfortable sitting distance may be at least 5" back (awkward for a TV). If it's a 720p set, you will be feeling pinched for desk top space (considerably less than a 22" 1680x1050)
On the plus side, the lower resolution will mean your games will run that much faster. It's just not very practical for general computing.
Of course that's if you already have the TV. Naturally a 24" display is going to be a lot cheaper than a 42" HDTV.

The funny thing is i have my TV and computer monitor on the same desk. I bought this big desk because i had too many. It's actually a cool desk. It has two levels on the top. One thiner strip on top big enough to hold my like 20 or something inch flatTV as well as my tower. And then below it there is the bigger desk top that holds my PS3 my monitor and my two external Harddrive that equal 1T and i'm thinking of buying another one. I have too much crap on my computer. I'm a pack rat even in my computer. i just can't delete stuff but i try to keep it off of my internal harddrive.
