Upgrade Advice

I am looking to get a few more bits and bobs for my new PC build.

I have a choice and I can decide.

I can either go with

Western Digital Caviar Green 1.5TB SATA-II 64MB Cache - OEM
ThermoLab Baram CPU Cooler (Socket AM2/AM3/LGA775/LGA1366)
AcoustiFan DustProof Quiet 120mm Fan - 3 pin
Arctic Silver 5 Thermal Compound (3.5g)

or, a second one of these

Viewsonic VX2260wm 22" Widescreen LCD Monitor

What do you think?

Do you have an ssd? If not get one.

I dont yet, do you think that would be the best upgrade at the minute?

Specs (in brief) are:
Athlon 965 3.4ghz,
4gb ram,
Radeon HD5770.
500gb Hdd.

Yeah, use it for windows and games installations, use the 500gb as a back up.

Or get another 5770 for crossfire.

how big a ssd? Would 32gb be enough or go 64?

What make/model would people suggest?

64, once you install windows and a few games, 32gb will be full.
