you just need a DVI to DVI cable to connect to the pc 2 section on the back for the video
and then a 3.5mm to 3.5mm jack - jack for the sound

or to use the pc 1 you need a dvi to vga convertor and then a vga to vga cable and then a 3.5mm jack to 3.5mm jack for the audio


for video:

aah righty, so your tv has a VGA in?

so gfxcards has dvi out, tv has vga in?

then you need a dvi to vga cable: http://www.ebuyer.com/product/130559

and then something for sound (if it has a 3.5mm jack in, then you just need a 3.5mm jack-3.5mm jack cable) like this: http://www.ebuyer.com/product/130895
