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.
