I take it the MV500 is a CRT ...

Go for the new monitor. Get a nice CRT or save up a little bit more and get an LCD. 350 bux will get you an LCD monitor these days.

P.S. If your going for a new graphics card, save your cashola and get a 64 MB version of the Radeon instead of the 128MB version - or go for a geforce.
