I'm just wondering what resolution I'll be able to run games at on a 23" monitor. I have a 9600gt, with a Core 2 Duo E7300 and 2 gigs of RAM.

You still will have to provide your monitor brand name and model name to allows us to provide you the answer.

not too high,
and probably medium settings for current games.

Depends a lot more on games considering monitors are so generic now o.o.

Generally speaking, I'm talking about viewing anything on the monitor itself, meant to be anything from games to programs, like movies or reading online. Something like that.

Well I was looking at a Asus monitor and I currently run games like COD:WAW on a 15" monitor at 1024X768 and I get over 60 fps but other games like armed assault 2 and america's army 3 I get around 30 fps on 1024X768. What if I upgrade to http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814130468 that?

a radeon 4850 or 4870/90 (compare with geforce gtx260) would be ideal for a widescreen monitor that exceeds 21 inches, 4870 or 4890 for high-end gaming. the 9600GT would run that resolution fine, but you're not gonna get great performance in games, as previously stated. if you have at least 512MB of onboard vRAM you might be able to get away with it in some titles, otherwise you'll be looking for a GPU upgrade.
well, lets assume if you upgrade to 23" monitor, you will be upgrading to 1920x1200 resolution, from 1024x768. in my opinion, this is hefty upgrade in resolution. in COD5, 9600GT may still do fine, but when it comes to games like Crysis or GTA IV, it will struggle.
so my suggestion is, if you would like to upgrade both graphic card and monitor, get the LCD monitor first. so that measuring with your 9600GT, you can make a good choice on what to replace your 9600GT with...
hope this helps.

Just for accuracy's sake this is not exactly true. Many of the newest monitors are 1920 X 1080 resolution, (full hi-def spec), with 16;9 aspect ratio, instead of 16:10. Actually, Newegg does not show a 23" or 23.6" monitor with 1920 X 1200 resolution
This almost goes without saying, save for the fact I'm uncertain as to how you measure a better card's performance, with a lesser one.
oops, i thought many would be 1200 instead of 1080.
and as for the thing, what i meant is if he bought the gts250 and then get the full hd monitor, maybe he'd like to get a stronger card, if he play heavy games. if he bought the LCD first, he can plan his future graphic card based from the current one.

1920 X 1200 happens at 24". Even at 24" many monitors are now 1080 in height. The 23" monitors are all new issues, and the manufacturers are pandering to the hi-def TV spec. Since most 22' screens are 1680 X 1050, that could have been a reasonable guess also.
There is also a "High Density" resolution spec 2048 X 1152 these are quite recent; http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produ...190020 1309821326 1106246724&name=2048 x 1152
If you do the math, these are also 16:9 and not 16:10 like the good old days
I think I know what you're trying to say about the graphics card, It makes some sense, but I doubt you can really judge what card you need, by which card you have. A better approach might be to read a goodly number of reviews, benchmark articles, the experiences of people here at Techspot with any given card, and balance all that with what your performance expectations are of a new video card.
