lcd, replace the monitor or is this a desktop your talking about? I'm confused could I upgrade my laptop or just build a new desktop?
Laptops are very challenging to upgrade. I can upgrade it for you but there is not much we can do, the motherboard will be the bottleneck and your graphics choices will be severely limited.
Here is a brand new desktop with virtually everything included for $1586 or so delivered from newegg including a nice Sony LCD.
