How much of a performance drop would he see going to a 5770? That would allow him the monitor. Or it might help him get closer.

How about this case? A little cheaper than the antec, saves about 30 bucks. I've never used this site before but know people who say they are great and stand behind their products.

Also, poke around on tigerdirect.com

Personally I used to like newegg, but been hearing too many negatives about them lately, such as a customer getting bad ram and having to pay restocking fees for returning. Not fair to the customer if you ask me. Personally even if I pay a little more, I'd rather have good service. But tigerdirect regularly runs barebones kits reasonable as well.

800 for computer + monitor is certainly doable. You won't be running a 5850 in that budget but you'll be fine with a 5770.

AMD Athlon II X3 435 $75

GIGABYTE GA-770T-USB3 $80

G.SKILL Ripjaws Series 4GB DDR3 1600 & XFX 5770 Combo $270

Antec BP550 Plus 550W PSU & Antec Three Hundred Case Combo $99

SAMSUNG Spinpoint F3 500GB $55

Sony Optiarc CD/DVD drive $22

ASUS VH226H Black 21.5" 2ms(GTG) HDMI Widescreen LCD Monitor $180

That comes to $780 with change left over for shipping.
Obviously you won't get any mad overclocking with the stock AMD heat-sink, but you have to realise that the monitor puts your budget for all the other computer parts at around $600 where its hard to justify spending extra money on a after-market heatsink.

Edit: Ahh beaten by 5 minutes.

And to be honest...even my 9600gt still runs ok for what i need.
