Depends, are you a heavy gamer?
I would not like to see how a 9600gt will handle that type of resolution in all honesty.
I would get a 4870/4890 rather and save for the monitor.

I'm still running an old Samsung 17" square LCD (Syncmaster 740BF) screen with a 4870.

Whats a 4870/4890 and why is it better than the 9600GT?
Whats the difference in price?

9500/9600 gt = shiaat.
even if you got a 32" LCD screen you won't be able to do anything with it on a crappy gfx card, however, a good gfx card will work on any screen.
remember, if you get the screen first, your games are gonna run even slower if you're gonna run higher resolutions.
go for a 4890 like killa said.

I would sell both and buy both. you'll get R1k for the lcd and R800 for the gfx. That will give you an extra 2k to mess around with = 2333sw and 4850.

If you're not gonna game, like me, I'd go for the LCD, for sure

1k for a 19" i highly doubt that, they cost that much new

yeah. 600 bucks would be closer to the truth...
good idea - but I dont think he'd get that much though
....but I still say this is a good idea from cerberus
sell the gfx and lcd, get about, i'd say R1500. buy a 22" LCD with that.
....or add 400 bucks and get this:

Edit: Err, guys? not sure where he's gonna get a 4890 for R2000 though - Pcint sells them for R2500.
So yeah - sell the LCD & GFX Card for R1500 Total, add the R2000.
R3500 will get you:
so you get a 23" Samsung, ATi HD4850 which is good enough, and 500 bucks to spend on something else - bargain!
