Used for watching/recording TV, playback movies, playing music, backing up dvd collection to .avi etc

Im looking to output it to my TFT and TV, the onboard video is fine isnt it ? and what will i have to do to get sound through my tv speakers? im not sure what wires are needed.

Ive got a tagan 350watt psu, ram keyboard + mouse etc already.

Not sure what case to get, but i want the smallest matx case available really

Any other suggestions ?

MSI .. what model ?

If i get the x300, then i wont need a mobo that has onboard gfx, so i could get a cheaper version of the board ?
