I was planning on buying an 8800 GT to go along with it and use my old monitor, but I'm not sure if I should considering Gateway's current situation.

Can I get some opinions?

That plan's flawed, but not for that reason. First off, that case isn't sufficiently ventilated to be able to use an 8800GT without it overheating, and secondly the power supply in it is too weak to handle one anyway. You would be better off building your own PC if you can (we'll happily guide you through it) or if it has to be prebuilt, go with something a bit roomier, and be prepared to replace the PSU with something decent like a Corsair HX.

I was actually looking to make something for 1200 or less...
