I'd like to know what the best possible gaming system I can get for ~$1000 is. I don't really have any preference. I'd like the products I order to be from a Canadian site, like www.newegg.ca or www.ncix.com .

I have a 20" monitor that has a max resolution of 1680 x 1050 already, is that still good for gaming?

Again, some of the parts may need to be changed once you fill out the form, and yes while that monitor is a little small, it's resolution isn't too bad.
