New Monitor and Video Card

[MixedLogik]

Ok guys, I need a good monitor, Widescreen and LCD, and A good Geforce video card for under $200. I just upgraded my DVD-Drive to a LG SATA DVD-RAM Burner. I had a SONY DRU-500 EIDE CD-ROM drive... And I got a Super Talent Media Reader/Writer. I was going to buy a new monitor but I waited to see If Newegg was reliable and it was. So now I need some suggestions.

For under $200 you wont be able to get a good DX10 card, I would go with the 7950GT.

After rebate the 7950GT is actually cheaper then the 8600GTS, and performs much better, have a look at these benchmarks.
