Hey guys..

I have pretty much all of the parts selected for my new i7 920 build but the monitor! I have narrowed it down to these four and any advice, comments would be appreciated! My budget is between 200-300 dollars

You did not specify the purpose of your system.
For myself I would've choose S2409W from that list. I like bigger pixel pitch and I prefer to use Dell monitors.

Dell SP2309W is a 2048 x 1152 resolution monitor.
For some purposes - such as gaming - it won't be an ideal choice.

Sorry.. primary use will be gaming. However I will still be using it for some web design, programming, and photo editing.

Thanks!

Edit -- will the 16:9 aspect ratio be a problem?

16:9 is standard wide screen aspect ratio; however the 2048 x 1152 resolution may not be an available option for some games - more likely they will use 1920x1080.
