i havent looked into 4xx series nvidia much. i think they had the cheapest dx11 card though. but dx11 wont be well adopted for at least 2 years. 2xx series had some reliability issues.
monitor looks fine, more of a personal choice than anything. i always recommend seeing them in a store though. you will likely be happy with whatever you get. it has hdmi so thats good, alot of the other stats are meaningless. most important for me is the ability to calibrate the settings which many would have.
