EVGA 512-P3-N861-AR GeForce 9600GT 512MB
2 Kingston HyperX 1GB 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 800 (PC2 6400)

I do watch ALOT of movies and tv shows on the pc in hd..so a new monitor is also needed..what should i look out for? budget is 2200..one more thing to note..my room is small and gets very hot..so i need great cooling options..all feedback is appreciated
