Assuming it's a hi-def television, you could probably use it as a monitor with a HDMI cable. (with the right video card)

You could also get this for $5 more, and it comes with Crysis:
Free Crysis Game included w/ purchase, while supplies last

(from my computer-build thread)
with this adapter:

I wish I could be of more help with the video card but for the moment, I'm out of the loop on what's considered good.
