Wow 1280x1024 but i'm sure you could drop the price lower since 850 dollars for just a 17-19inch res isn't that worth it. Wow basicly 2 months buy time? just wait until you about to buy it such as 2 weeks before you plan on buying

Actually these combo's down below would suite your resolution better than what I posted above. Just switch out the case/psu and memory/vid card combo's with these down below.
