As far as the graphics card goes you will want nothing less than a Geforce 6600. It depends on what the native resolution of your TV is as to whether or not the card will drive it well. Yes you can connect and yes it would be beautiful for watching DVDs. As far as web browsing and email, that's a little menial for a HDTV. Well anyway, you can connect your computer to it usign a DVI connection. You will also probably need to buy the DVI cable as the computer probably won't come with it. Now if you buy the graphics card yourself and install it, the card will come with a DVI cable, usually.
