Incidentally, Cartesius over in Cinema forum is also thinking of buying a new computer. Lotsa suggestions, mine among them. If I had money for another, top-level, new computer, I'd go with AMD FX-60. CRT vs. LCD, to get good colour on LCD, you need to spend more money than you intend for the whole configuration. And then you cannot do motion stuff properly on it because the response time is too high. Take also into account that you usually have to run LCDs at their nominal resolution for good results, like 1920 x 1200. Changing the resolution might lead to unsatisfactory image. OTOH, check the new NEC LCDs. They've already got that SpectraView Reference (widest colour space of all monitors), but they also have new series with very low response time. Finally, it appears that lots of 22" CRT monitors are simply discontinued. Their LCD counterparts are more expensive. BTw, if you find 21-22" CRTs from Samsung, avoid those with DF in name. That stands for DynaFlat and means that the flatness of the screen is achieved with a layer of glass over the curved screen. I've got Samsung 1200 NF, NaturalFlat, and it's quite good while pretty cheap comparatively.
