I would like to thank you for taking the time to do this thread. I have sent many PMs to other hardcore PC gamers on here looking for help in building a gaming PC only to get nothing in return from all of them.

Just a quick question, After I finally build my PC I plan on hooking it up to my Home Theatre setup listed below. Which video card will make the games look the best on that TV

For a 1080p TV, your best bet will be a Radeon 4890. Pretty much all of them include either native HDMI or a DVI-to-HDMI adapter, but you should check to make sure anyway. Otherwise, as I said in the OP, all 4890 brands are pretty much the same; just get the cheapest one on Newegg.

Also, thanks for the comments, everyone!


Alright thanks,  I was actually leaning towards the "More Power" Box you have listed since budget isnt really an issue. 

Would that TV be fine or would you reccommend a different monitor??  

Your TV should be fine. Heck, I run my PC on a 720p HDTV (at native resolution, of course) and everything looks wonderful.

Also, re the 4XXX vs. 5XXX series debate: Power consumption isn't an issue for most people, so I usually recommend the 4XXX series. If you want a "greener" card and don't mind paying a bit extra for it, though, there's nothing wrong with the 5XXX cards.



"'Casual games' are something the 'Game Industry' invented to explain away the Wii success instead of actually listening or looking at what Nintendo did. There is no 'casual strategy' from Nintendo. 'Accessible strategy', yes, but ‘casual gamers’ is just the 'Game Industry''s polite way of saying what they feel: 'retarded gamers'."
