Yes,what card do I need to be able to play my PC Games using my 52"RCA LX1 HDTV instead of my 17'Flat CRT monitor?

I have a PCI-Express(PCI-E x 16)slot available

that all depends on the inputs of the TV and the native resolution of it. Most new cards will have no problem pushing your games on any HDTV my screen displays at 1920x1200 and i play on a X800GTO2.

My tv has S-video/AV/HD jacks

Should I buy a X800GTO2 card?

X800's are the previous generation of cards!

If you can get the new X1800 or X1900 series... they will do the job as well if not better!

no dont bother with the X800 series i was just using it as an example that any current gen card should have no problem driving yoru screen.

as for the plugs is the HD plug an HDMI or DVI?

Okay,but how many amps should it be?

your 12v rail should be no less than 18A. Just dont get fooled by cheap supplies who put like 50A on the 12v....

LOL..........,Okay dual 12 v anygood?

yes, a strong sigle tends to be better for overclocking, while a good dual tends to do well with SLI and cross loads.

Okay,So who's dual rail then?
1.)Enermax
or
2.)Ultra
or
3.)Antec

Who's?That won't cost me more than $100.00

i would suggest Fotron or Enermax, ultra are a no go, Antec are not as good as they used to be.
