Hi everyone,

I'm new here so please be gentle 🙂.

I've been researching for a new PC for a while and here's my current list:

CoolerMaster Stacker STC-T01 - Silver Trim (No PSU)
Antec 480W NeoPower
AMD Athlon 64 3500+ Winchester 90nm (Socket 939) - Retail
Zalman CNPS7000B-Alcu Ultra-Quiet CPU Cooler - Retail
MSI K8N Neo2 Platinum (Socket 939)
2 x Crucial Ballistix PC-3200 BL6464Z402 512MB DDR
Seagate Barracuda 7200.7 200GB SATA 8MB Cache - OEM
NEC ND3500 16x DVD±RW Dual Layer ReWriter (Black) - OEM
Inno3D GeForce 6800 GT 256MB DDR3 TV-Out/DVI (AGP) - Retail
Creative Sound Blaster Audigy 2 ZS Platinum - Retail
Logitech Z-5300 THX® Certified 5.1 280 Watts Speakers - Retail
Logitech MX1000 Laser Cordless Mouse
Logitech® Media Keyboard - Retail
OcUK Value Floppy Drive - Black

I'm fairly happy with this system but I'm not sure what monitor to get, there seems to be very few reviews! I'd like to get the Mitsubishi DP930SB-BK 19" but I can't find it for sale and in stock anywhere in the UK. Could I have a few suggestions please? One nicely priced monitor is the Hyundai ImageQuest Q995 19'' which can do 1280 x 1024 @ 85 Hz but I don't know if this does my system justice.

Any help would be appreciated! And any comments on the system I've chosen as well. One thing about reading reviews on US sites is that it's sometimes quite hard to find the hardware they recommend.

PS I do intend to do some overclocking.
