Need help finding the right Monitor.

So in these upcoming weeks I am planning on building a new computer. It will mainly be used for gaming, editing photos, and browsing the vast expanse of the Interwebs.

With all of my parts picked out, and the last thing I need is a monitor. I am looking for a mid-range 1080p monitor with a size of around 21"-24" that I can use on a daily basis.

Could anyone recommend a good monitor that fits these specifications?

Thanks for all the suggestions. I'm a few steps closer to having my build complete. Also I get the consensus about the power supply, I had recently just changed it from the RM650 to fit my budget a bit more. I don't plan on keeping the CX600, but posted the parts list to help justify your monitor suggestions.
