Greetings Techies ! Which Video card should I buy?

I recently bought a Philips 42PFL7403D/27 42-Inch 1080p 120Hz LCD HDTV, I am trying to hook it up to my PC. I am not a gamer but I use my PC to watch HD videos and casual computing. I am looking to buy a video card with HDMI output, I did find many options in New egg, and I kinda like this one http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.as…



Give me your suggestions and insight, I am looking for something less than 100 $ and again I am not a gamer.



I do have a Bose V30 system which I have connected with the system with an optical output from TURTLE BEACH TBS-3300-01 Montego DDL Sound Card.



If taking the HDMI output from PC and connecting it to the BOSE V30 can make the sound even better I will go with that option.



Let me know what you think is the best option for me!



MY PC Configuration.



Mother Board: Intel DG31PR Motherboard - Intel G31 Express, Socket 775, MicroATX, Audio, Video, PCI Express, Gigabit LAN, USB 2.0, Serial ATA



CPU: Intel Core 2 Duo E6600 Processor HH80557PH0564M - 2.40GHz, 4MB Cache, 1066MHz FSB, Conroe, Dual-Core, OEM, Socket 775, Processor



RAM: Kingston ValueRAM 4GB DDR2 SDRAM Memory Module - KVR667D2K2/4GR



HDD : 1 TB



Thanks in advance guys!|||ok really the final choice is up to you but i must warn you that to play hd video in full 1080p plus a second monitor, you need a better card. for very large resolutions (hd tvs for example) you need a card with more memory that 512mb. 1gb is ok. look at these:

they might be more expensive but trust me you will be glad you got one with more memory. 512mb is fine for little pc monitors but hd video playback you want more
