You asked for a 22" display and that's why I've suggested you and that's the minimum for a 22" full HD display. You can get Dell 20" Display @ 6K.
For Mobo: Intel Dh67CL-B3 @ 5.6K (comes with USB 3 and SATA 3 6 Gbps.)

Still looking out for a cheaper GPU that the 6770 to accomodate the better mobothboard and/or a 1TB HDD in the config Cilus suggested. Any ideas ?

I wanted a cheaper GPU, not a cheaper monitor. Each sentence of mine was referring to the quote 'above' it. I also wanted to know why you suggested AOC over BenQ. Thanks in advance
