    S-video? You should be able to find a tv with DVI inputs.

    Go for the best you can afford.

    Get a 1080P for your computer, and make sure it has an HDMI port. You can buy a DVI->HDMI cable to connect them. If you use S-Video, it doesn't matter what TV resolution you have, since I think it maxes out at 480I.

    As via specifications:
    HDMI Via adapter

    As you can see your card has two DVI ports. You can purchase a cable that has the DVI connector and HDMI output connector.

    Your card can handle 1080p, so go for 1080p minimum.

    Your motherboard doesn't have built in sound? Most modern boards have 7.1 these days.

    Also I couldn't see it, but the spec's on your video card had sound via SPDIF. So you should be able to pipe out to your TV's speakers.

    Nvidia cards usually have the SPDIF connecter on the circuit board internal to the PC, not the faceplate, so the onboard sound is usually your best bet. Of course, we really need to know what the OP is hooking the sound to. If it is just the tv, he just needs a splitter for the speaker jack.
