It's possible to go within your budget, but you probably won't have the ability to play at resolutions like 1900x1200.

If you need to buy the monitors, I'll gladly mod the list to your heart's content. I hate to say it, but if you get a slightly bigger ATX Mid-Tower case, the difference will be less than a pound...
