I'd say that SLi 7800gts would be wasted on a 17" monitor but then I don't know quite how well a single 7800gt would cope with a 22" monitor at high resolutions. I'd probably buy the monitor and if necessary tone down the settings.

Ideally, you'd get both at the same time, but if that's not possible, get the monitor first, then the new card as soon as possible. You can turn a few settings down in the meantime.

Just had a look at that monitor - it looks pretty good for the price, but not available for another month :(
