At the moment you have a 19", a 8800GT 512mb will play any new game on or near to max settings on that size screen, then when you get your bigger screen just buy another 8800GT?

I think thats your best bet, as the GT's use less power and they wont kick out as much heat either.

Also 2 GT 512's will be around the same performance if not better than a single GTX, and you wouldnt want two GTX's, your room will be like a sauna

Looking at the reviews though, the new 8800 GTS 512mb runs cooler and uses less power and out performs the 8800 GT.

And im looking at buying a 22/24" screen with my Jan pay (pc in Nov, graphics card Dec, new TFT in Jan), so i want a card that will power a screen at 1920 * 1200 straight away.

Im still no closer to deciding
