you can but your video card may not handle the higher resolution for good FPS....you can always still play at a lower resolution than you monitors native though its is best to play at native resolution in terms of visual fidelity. get 1080p monitor ;) you can always get a new GPU down the road if need be.

buy a screen that has 1920x1080 namely full HD 1080p such a monitor a 22 inch doesnt cost much these days but enables you to watch hd movies and you can also select lower resolution for gaming if needed.
