Will a VGA monitor work? At the moment I was hoping to get by on my old one (a Dell E228WFP 22") but asn't sure if it would fit the set up, so am looking to buy something else. Am I right in thinking it's to do with the motherboard? (So in this case I'm looking for something with HDMI & DVI?) Thanks for your time.

They provide a DVI to VGA adaptor with the graphics card but you might be bottlenecked by the monitor. What resolution is it?

The Dell one is only 1680x1050 - but I've got a £50 amazon voucher and can add about another 30 on top of that (so around 80). Was thinking of the Asus VS228DE, the Acer S220HQLBrbd or the Samsung S22D300HY. Just found a Asus VE228TR which is tem;pting me the most, what are your opinions of it?

Any of them would be fine really, have a look at some reviews and see anything jumps out.
