What is my problem?

When I play Battlefield 2, and I swing my head to a side, everything that flies buy gets all chunky, and sort of slides in the direction I am moving in. After playing for a little bit, sometimes it gets a little bit more noticably choppy. I am assuming this is my monitor, since my components seem to be fine. Also, somtimes at the base of a building, where it meets the ground, it will flicker white and regular colors. Is their any way to check my components?

With all my components, and there is no overheating, it seems that all it could be is my crappy 17icnh Dell monitor (CRT) that is causing this.

I want the cheapest bang for the buck monitor, 17" or 19", preferably 19", and it can be LCD or CRT, preferably LCD, but I want the cheapest good gaming one, so can't always get watcha want. Can anyone reccommend a good, cheap, gaming monitor? OR lead me in the direction of what my problem is?
 
Don't thing a CRT monitor would cause those video artifacts. Could be PSU, thermal, or video card. Open the case and retest.
 
I'm with furballi, I doubt it is the monitor. I assume with the video card, you have the latest drivers.... maybe cleaning out any video drivers on your computer and installing the latest drivers again might help. "Generic PSU" always worries me, although I don't know if a crappy PSU would cause your problem or not; do you have another PSU to test with, or can you borrow one from a friend? Have you played any other games and not had trouble? Is this a brand new video card for you, or have you had it for awhile (with no problems)? What temps are you getting on the video card (I realize you said no overheating, just curious)?
 
I believe this is a driver issue. BF2 has all sorts of bugs and I have read about this many times on BF2 support forums.

I would try reinstalling video drivers and also possibly the game as well.
 
It might be that my PSU cannot give enough power to my video card for it to run on full load. I will be purcahsing a 450watt Fortron soon. I need a new PSU anyway, just because I don't trust mine, and it might fix the problem. My vid card is brand new, and idles in the low 40's. MAx is is in the 60's.
