This ^ ...300 is enough to get you a 2560 x 1440 monitor assuming your GPUs can handle the resolution and you don't mine getting the base model which only has a single DVI-d port.

Edit: sorry you beat me too it thumb.gif

Your cards do have adequate power if you do consider a Korean screen. Are they 1 GB or 2? You probably want to play games with AA off but it doesn't matter as much at high resolutions.
