My system (see signature) is about $600 and should handle your 1600x900 fantastically. $700 with windows. you could throw the extra $100 into a GTX560 instead of 6850, and into a 1tb hdd instead of the 500 GB

Also for your case try checking the CM Store as they are selling amazing refurbished cases at a low price.

The CM690 case (both versions) are outstanding cases with excellent cooling, lots of room, and outstanding cable management!

The CM690 is $39.99 and the CM690 II is $44.99 (both prices don't include shipping) (shipping for me cost 10 bucks)

Newegg is selling them for much higher at i think $80 or $90


Usually when I see the term refurbished I tend to avoid them, but for a case there's not much to go wrong so i'd say definitely grab one!
