uh.. Im pretty sure any GFX card will run a 22" screen..

True but Which card will give optimal performance??? theres too many to choose from

optimal performance? well let's see here, it doesn't really matter what card you use for a 22", so, logically I'd say the top of the line.
Obviously.

What is the brand and model of the 22" monitor? you at least need to give us that information or the specs so that we can at least give you some semi decent information (which you should be able o find if you look up the specs for everything yourself....)

Doesn't matter at all. Gaming performance is another case though.

If your looking at gaming. Make sure you get a card with plenty of ram. The 8800gts 640mb should be sufficient at running all your games fine on that monitor. If you plan on buying all the new games coming out then I'd wait till Christmas for the G92.

You will want at least 1.6 MB video ram with a monitor that big.
IE, it absolutely makes no difference- it's like any other monitor, only larger.

A larger monitor will need more Graphics Power then a normal monitor.
Have you ever tried running a game at 800x600 and one at 1280x1024..? The 800x600 will have a higher "Frames Per Second" rate then then higher resolution.
I'm assuming he will be running this monitor at 1680x1050.
What games do you like playing..? Are you planning on playing any newer games..? Like any DX10 games..?
As for the motherboard, I'd suggest something like the XFX nForce 680i-LT Motherboard.
It all depends on what Gfx card and CPU you want.

More graphics power is good regardless of the resolution, or the size of the monitor, and since we can reasonably assume that you've already considered graphics power and your budget as the main factors on what cards you will be choosing, surely it's a moot point on this subject.
OTOH, I guess it is a good point to stress that [for the obligatory car reference] you're going to need more than a two liter engine in your semi. But, there's no real point comparing low end and high end cards, because you will always aim near what you're capable of getting. That leads me to believe what he's closer to asking is, which high end card is better, and do any of them come with any bonuses or drawbacks for high-resolution monitors?

Which do you think will run faster..? A graphics card that only has to process 786432 pixels, or a card that only has to process 1764000 pixels. Thats over double the pixels.
Basically, if you plan on playing some DX10 High Resolution Gaming anytime soon, you will need a top of the line card. If you only play on playing some older games on the high resolution, atleast get a half decent card.
To work out what card would suit you, we still need to know what you will be doing on the computer.

The size of the monitor doesn't count at all, in any way!
What can be (note: "can be", not "is") important is the resolution you wanna run*. The reason why I say "can be" is because there are cards which would work faster on a specific resolution than other cards with a lower resolution. Or some card work faster with gaming and others with normal apps, etc... It depends on the GPU being used, integrated memory etc etc.
Verte is correct in saying that what matters is your budget. You obviously aim for the biggest/best card you can get for the amount of money you have. That is what matters. All the rest is comparing apples with oranges as each card would be able to control a 20" monitor (or even larger) and most cards (if not all also) can control the high resolution. The question is only what money you can spend....
PS: that's a big monitor... cool! 
EDIT:
* Aka: even on a small monitor you could set a high resolution. Thus the size of the monitor does not matter at all... resolution and monitor size are two totally different things.
