Yes I agree here. This is the mis-matched component of your rig.
Great condition 22" LCDs off dell outlet, flea-bay or newegg openbox can be found for around $100
example:

is your 19" 4:3 or 16:9?

4:3

The aspect ratio doesn't matter.

Even a 2 year old computer can push 1280x1024 no problem.

That computer is a complete waste without a monitor that can do 1080P IMO.

Ill buy that stuff too over time, I just wanted a PC that I wont need to upgrade for a while.

I officially hate the term bottleneck. bottleneck this, bottleneck that, I think anybody can figure out that a Pentium D doesn't complement a hd4870x2 all that well. Nor does a voodoo 5 5500 make much sense when paired with an overclocked i7 for gaming. IF you pick a fairly highend card and cpu obviously you aren't going to be missing out on much.

On the other hand your system should play everything maxed out for a while to come on that meaty 1280x1024 monitor 😀

NO MORE BOTTLENECK THREADS!!!!!!!! or else!! =)

Mission accomplished. 😀

I recommend you save up for an HDTV to game on, it's awesome.

Whatever you do, don't upgrade your CPU or GPU until you get a better display. :beer:

This is what I bought last Tuesday. I already had an 8800 GTX. If anybody is curious. 🙂

I think its somewhat overpriced for CPU since in the states it is cheaper.

Your system is pretty balanced.
