To get a decent monitor and GPU your gonna need to spend about... $500

22" monitor is around $250

8800GT is like $230


but if you MUST go with the 8600Gt then have fun

ya but i have 300! want something simple and inexpensive.

Trying looking in your local craigslist for a cheap monitor... they usually have very cheap 19" LCDs. Then with $230 gets a 8800GT

May be slightly over $300 initially, with taken account of MIR, it is similar price with that 8600GTS
