    You can build a much better system for that price and get a high end gfx card.

    Consider going down the AMD route

    This is almost a full system with case for < €400. Just a quick example of AMD goodness.

    But if your sticking to that system. Try a 6870 instead.

    ati 5770 will run everything v well on a 22 monitor

    On a nice new build with gaming in mind, would be recommended to go with GTX 460 or ATI 6850.. read reviews to see which you like

    If you really have money to blow or a much bigger monitor.. then would recommend the ati 6950 or nvidia GTX 470

    Monitor size doesn't matter, its the resolution thats important. Theres no difference in performance between a 22' 1080p and a 42' 1080p monitor with the same graphics card.

    I know but its just easier to generalise if they don't know much


    22inch usually equals about 1680x1050

    24inch up to 1920x

    and 26 and above 2560x

    3 different cards really
