You've got a decent system there; you should put it to good use. If it was me,
I would go with a 21" or 22" Trinitron off-lease from these guys:

I don't think I would call this low end, but if you are convinced it is, I
would search locally for used monitors.

Hi,

I don't call that a "low end" system. Don't go cheap on the monitor
but get the best one that your wallet allows. CRT monitors pretty
cheap now a day and you can get a good 21" for couple of hundred bucks
unless you want LCD. Remember, no matter how good the game is but if
your monitor does not display good images then you will not enjoy the
game at all.

I love my Envision 19" flat screen CRT. Look into the Envision line.
Great bang/buck ratio.
