You can buy larger monitors and still run at lower resolutions, like your 1366*768, but you won't want to. If your current monitor only supports VGA, you will have to convert the digital signal from the card to the analog VGA signal at some point and lose any improvements that HDMI or DVI can give you on image quality. I would buy a new monitor.

It does not matter what you start with because in the end you are downgrading the signal to VGA, thus you will end up with the same quality.

Most likley your 280x has one dvi port that is dvi-i thus you can just use a dvi-vga adapter which is cheap and more of a straight thru adapter instead of doing massive conversions, while a hdmi to vga adapter will cost more money and do more modificaiton to the signal.

You should have no problems going to a bigger monitor though, that 280x should handle 1080p just fine unless the rest of your system is a huge bottleneck.

Getting a whole new screen isn't worth it unless you want to. Go with a DVI-VGA converter; cheap, works, and no decrease in visual performance with that resolution anyway. Why the hell not?
