I'm looking to build a new comp and want some input. I dont use the computer to game much. Usually i'm just surfing the web or watching tv on my tuner. The only game I really play is WoW and sometimes GW. The main thing I want to get this time is a 19" LCD. Budget is around $850.

There are trade offs you can make as well....you can go with a lesser powered video card and a lower wattage power supply for a bigger hard driver or whatever else you can't to customize.
