I have an extremely fast gaming pc and I will be using it to watch movies, surf the web and play a lot of games. I already have an LG 32 Inch LED tv but the problem is its resolution will it be enough? Or do I have to buy a monitor if I do I can go up to $130 budget

Really depends on the TV, 32" with 1366x768 will normally result in good video and maybe games but text is seldom good, I've hooked up to a number of TVs and did find a 1080 P 32" that works well, made by Sceptre, haven't had any luck with 720s or below

I wouldn't recommend it. Assuming the average viewing distance of 3 feet, it is fairly easy to see the difference between 1080p and 1440p. 720p will not only make text illegible, it will also make your videos and games look washed out and pixelated. 720p resolution is good under two conditions, long distance viewing on large screen size or short distance viewing on a small screen size, but it is not suitable for short distance viewing on a large screen size. The closer you sit to the monitor, the more adverse the effects of (low resolution - large screen) setup will become. Go for a 23 inch 1080p or 1440p monitor.
