Hi there, to all the enthusiasts out there, ive received help from you guys many times before so here goes again.....

im planning on building

64 x2 3800
xfx 7600gt/x1800xt (if it's still cheap then)
2 x 1gb corsair value select/geil value
250 gb SATA

so my question is this, currently i only play in resolutions becuase the tft only allows 1024x768 max (lame i know).

If i do opt for a decent gfx card, will i still be able to see good framerates/reap the benefits of a good card (i.e. x1800xt), or would it only be worth my while to stick to a half decent card (i.e. the 7600 gt)? and second of all what is bottlenecking (i have a vague idea but im a bit of a noob) and with this setup will this occur ?
 
Then i guess my reply to you is......

If i do get a 19" widescreen acer monitor, will the game play at the same resolution as the monitor? if that is true then will the game not require a more powerful gfx processor ?
