Here are the screenshots of the info from the GPU and monitor, I figure the info for the other components wouldn't be necessary. If it is the monitor, I'd probably go with 21 inches again, the current 21 inch display I have is big enough for me. The fun part is finding one that takes DVI when it comes to name brands, most of the Samsungs are VGA or HDMI, there's no HDMI port on my GPU, and the ASUS displays have DVI but speakers. How is Acer?
Ok mate now that was good that you now can use the HW Info to see what is in the machine eh?:)
Now yes a 21" is fine and really that sort of size you could pick up one for a song. The issue with inputs is annoying as I recently bought a Samsung only to find that it only had VGA (crazy move but) and HDMI which my main desky card supports.
I think I mentioned before I am not sure of where you are only that I can see the time zone form your public profile could be in Alaska Canada or the west coast of the US.
So assuming you are in the US I think a lot of folks there use either Newegg or Amazon so I have had a look at both and it seems to me Newegg is the better of the two
so I have picked a few
HP W2082a Black 20" TN 5ms LCD / LED Monitor, 200 cd/m2 DCR 10,000,000:1, Built-in Speakers, VGA DVI-D (with HDCP)-Newegg.com
BenQ GL2460HM Black 24" TN 2ms (GTG) LCD/LED Monitor, 250 cd/m2 DCR 12,000,000:1 (1,000:1), Built-in Speakers, VESA Mountable, HDMI, DVI-Newegg.com (a bit bigger than you want but I have had BenQ monitors and they are just the real deal) but a good price.
Plus if you go through this page computer monitor, LCD / LED Monitors, Monitors, Computer Systems - Newegg.com
there are some exceptional deals and far better prices than we get out here, and I have to say with Newegg you folks are spoiled for choice.
I would seriously consider a larger screen to be honest the difference is so much better. I say that because in the past I have gone for something that it is either cheaper or looks better and regretted not getting something really good. The other thing is you may even want to up the ante with the GPU and then you would find an enormous difference in what you see.
But again the choice and budget are yours, and good luck.
