Looking for a monitor that doesn't require head turning and works well with my GPU

[thaull]

I'm clueless about monitors, and right now I have a 19'' 1440x900 LCD monitor that I've had for 2 years now. A year ago, I upgraded my computer and I'm now able to run games on the max settings. The only thing that feels out of place is my monitor. I want to see more of the games I play, and my monitor feels a little small. I want a monitor to work well with my GTX 260 and AMD Athlon 7750 2.7GHz Dual Core Processor and not have to lower my graphics settings just in case it's too much.

I'm looking for a good gaming monitor with low ms that's bigger than mine, but I don't want to turn my head a lot while playing. Right now I play with the screen about 5-7 feet away from me and I can basically see the entire screen from this distance with only slight eye movements to see the edges.

Right now my budget is around $250

Thank you.

How about this monitor? It's a 1920x1080 2ms monitor. I don't know if this is a good monitor, and could really use some help with it.

Is it a good monitor, and will my computer setup be able to support the higher resolution and play on max setting?

The games I'm interested in are

Tera Online
Bad Company 2
Crysis

Not sure if I can run them all on highest settings with my current setup since I never played them, but I have no idea how to compare the system requirements to mine. Not sure if upgrading my monitor size would make it worse.

Any monitor will work with your setup. It's the graphics card that really makes your games play well not the monitor. Not sure how good of a card the gtx 260 is though.

That's what I meant. I heard someone say that higher resolutions can take up more power from my card.
