Koolance PC2-650bk with vga/cpu coolers
Asus A8V Deluxe mobo
AMD Athlon 64 3500+ cpu
Visiontek X800 Pro 256mb

Those are some 19" suggestions....I'm very partial to viewsonic because I believe they make excellent products. The P series is higher end and has higher refresh rates, which could come in handy if you run games at 1600x1200.
