All the rest of your ideas seem sufficient for cadding, but with the monitor it really does come down to bigger being better. The larger the screen, the easier it is to see what you're working on, especially with large assemblies. I use a 19" Flat panel at work and home but would prefer something larger.

Also, do your homework on a site like CNET and then buy from somewhere cheaper like New Egg if you're trying to save some loot.
