For those who don't want to look through that this is my current CPU
CPU: AMD FX-8120 3.10 GHz Eight-Core AM3+ CPU 8MB L2 Cache & Turbo Core Technology

So what would be a better upgrade for around $200?

I can vouch for that monitor it's certainly a great one, It's the one I bought and make sure it's LCD not LED, LCD is much much better. I'm also getting another one of those.

:/ its ok
