If you're building a new PC with a graphics card for gaming and other graphic-intense operations, your monitor's resolution will hold you back. Get at 22" or 23" with resolution of at least 1920x1080 (HD) and you'll be in good shape.

Good example:

It really does depend on the cpu you're building and the use(s) it's being built for. As sharkbyte151 says, if you building it for gaming or autocad and rendering you will want something with much better resolution. If you're building a gaming RIG with multiple cards or one of the EYEFINITY cards from AMD then starting with a single monitor and building to the 2nd and 3rd monitors. All that aside, nothing wrong with wanting the best viewing available. If you got the money??? get the better monitor. (my opinion)
