which graphics card for HTPC with a bit of gaming?

[SGWills]

i decided that i dont use my pc enough to have a gaming rig so i have decided to build a HTPC for my music and also for the odd gaming session (CoD, Css etc)


what graphics card would suit my needs ? needs to be able to connect to a 42" LCD and a 24" dell monitor and be able to run most games ok.


will be using a G33M-S2 , 8500/q6600 (still undecided) and a few other bits and bobs

any input would be great

ATI 4850 http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showp...3 TV-Out/Dual DVI/HDMI (PCI-Express) - Retail

4850 puts out a lot of heat though, that could be problematic in a HTPC case.

I've got a passive 4650 in mine - works a treat

The 4830 is quite good for this tho still puts out a bit of heat but it fits most small cases and provides good gaming performance.
