I think you need to upgrade the person that runs the computer first before updating the computer. |

You should probably tell us what the problem is because both the gpu and monitor are good enough to do almost anything you would need. So unless you want to run Crysis on high in 1080p with 120hz you are fine. |

Ok, well when I go into 1080p mode(1770xso ething) it doesn't take up the whole screen, and it has terrible contrast. I can get it to take up the full screen, but it makes it look even worse. |

A little more RAM won't hurt. 2GB is kinda low if you're running Vista. |

I'd go with a monitor that supports 1900x1200 over 1900x1080. Mine is an Asus MK241H with 1900x1200 HDMI 1080p and all that and it's great. |
