New monitor or graphics card?

[tenx10]

Current graphics card is radeon 9600pro.

I want to replace it with this (or if you want to recommend a better AGP):

ATI Radeon X850PRO 256MB 256-bit GDDR3 VIVO AGP 4X/8X

Or I can get a new monitor. But I'm not sure what to pick.

Another problem my cpu is a AMD Athon 64 2800+ which is pretty outdated on a 754 socket.

What monitor do you have now?

I would go with the new video card IMO.

Staples is going to have a Samsung 19" Widescreen LCD tomorrow for $130 if you are in the US.

Or you could but a 17" LCD at Best Buy for $80, then have enough money for a decent video card.

Much better idea, I never saw the Best Buy ad.
