Want to hook up my new TV to the PC.

I want to use the TV and also have it so I can use it as another screen (dual screens).

What cable(s) will I need?

A VGA > VGA (or DVI>VGA if you have DVI slots)

you need a graphics card with 2 slots

Graphics card is DVI, and the TV has HDMI, so presumably I should get a HDMI to DVI, but I need someone to pick out a decent cable.

And I need some kind of audio cable as well?

Can't go wrong with Belkin, what about sound cables? I think it's called an A/V cable? Obviously I cant get sound through the HDMI to DVI cable so...
