My biggest gripe is that new monitors dont come with component ports. It means I cant hook up anything pre Xbox 360.

TVs are a better bet for component ports *wink wink*
I guess the good news is that they do make adapters for component cables, so you're not entirely screwed, but I guess the bad news is that you'll have to spend more money to keep playing games you already own.

Depends. Are you building a computer primarily for gaming or for work/video editing? If it's the former I'd go for a cheaper TN panel- these usually have lower response times at the expense of a bit of picture quality. If it's the latter I'd go for what's called an IPS panel- these have better picture quality with somewhat slower response times. Then again, response times don't really matter unless you're a competitive gamer who absolutely needs a 1MS monitor. Don't worry about refresh rates above 60Hz or resolutions above 1920x1080 unless you know your parts can take advantage of them.
My recommendation: Any highly-rated 1920x1080, 60Hz TN panel will probably be your best bet (most monitors will fall into this category). If you have a bit extra to spend and you want the best picture quality, an IPS panel is the way to go. Personally, I've had an Acer TN panel for the past three years with no real complaints.
This video may help (or make things more confusing). Includes a few more panel options if you're looking for something in between:
