Yeah, newegg
A 24 inch monitor is great, thats a fairly standard size monitor. You'd be hard-pressed to find a monitor these days that don't function well as everything has entered into the HD/Plasma/1080i/Superawesomeamazing thing.... I know alot of people who use a 24inch wide hd-LCD monitor and they are quite beautiful. Remember, a strong video-card is nearly as important as a good monitor. Hand-in-hand type thing.
And btw...you will never be able to tell the difference between i5 and i7, nor between 8gb and 12gb of ram.
If you Google the Internet, you will find it hard to show a single benchmark with a speed difference between 4GB and 8GB.
Multi-tasking CAN improve very slightly between 4GB and 8GB but it's very low and basically can only be seen under benchmarks (and even then we're talking mainly about the STARTUP of some games being faster because the system doesn't need to temporarily reclaim some RAM so maybe startup is 45 seconds versus 57 seconds after which there's no in-game difference.

And I'd suggest googling the differences between i5 and i7...hell even add in i3.
The most expensive item isn't always the thing you need. If you want to save money, then I would not buy more than 8gb of ram, hell I use 4 and I have never seen a single issue nor had a desire for more ram. I'd also go with the i5 and not waste money on an i7....it get to the point where are you either going to wait 2 seconds for something to open or you are going to wait 1.5 seconds.
