I've decided to rebuild my computer with a new cpu, mobo, memory, and case.

$89.00 + $3.00 shipping = $92.00

But there is one thing I'm afraid of, I don't know if my monitor will be able to handle the higher resolutions and framerates. I have an emachines eView 17f2. It says max resolution is 1280x1024 at 60hz. Do i have to buy a new monitor to take advantage of my new graphics mobo and cpu?
