Best Graphics Card Pick?

Wazz Uppp,

Im looking for a graphics card and want a simple one so I narrowed it down to.....
The Palit Radeon HD 3650 looks really nice and has a hdmi connector. Sapphire Radeon HD 3650 is good but has a s-video connector instead.The EVGA GeForce 8600 GT is nice to but I dont think it has dual monitor support. So its like this, out of those 3 which will support my hdtv, give me decent gaming capability, and dual monitor. Also I would like to know if it will be compatible with my pc. I have a Dell Dimension 4700 1gb ram, 2.80 ghz, Windows XP Home Edition sp2.

Also would I need to buy an dvi-i/vga connector for my monitor? or should i use the vga on the card. If I use the hdmi connector will it work on my hdtv's hmdi connector.

Thanks

Nvidia 8800 GTs should be pretty inexpensive these days.. They should do the trick for you. Remember you can always pick up a DVI-to-HDMI cable since most video cards dont support native HDMI out.
