Are there any other inputs on the TV? Composite and SVideo are going to look horrible if connected to a TV. (read - fuzzy) I'm sure the Aquos will have at least a VGA connection, if not a DVI or HDMI. It may have component (which I'm assuming is what you're referring to when you say RGB?) I've never tried hooking up a PC using component so I'm not sure how it would look. You might want to check your video card you're buying to see if it comes with the relevant adapters for how you want to hook it up.

I'd recommend VGA, HDMI or DVI instead of using any of the analog inputs. You can find converters for practically anything at Monoprice if you require one.

I'd go HDMI since HDMI cables are so cheap these days. I'm not sure if the video card will offer some kind of audio pass through, but you might even be able to pass audio through the HDMI to save yourself another set of cables.

VGA might also be good if you have a long enough cable lying around.

Try this one. Apparently it supports audio over HDMI too if you want to pass audio through to your TV.
