Help in choosing another Video Card

OK here are the parts I want to order for my new build. The only problem is they are out of stock for the vc. Can someone recommend another one that is comparable? I'd like to keep it about the same price and I need the HDMI connection (for TV hook up). No gaming, just running training software for an exercise machine.

Should be good enough:

Gamer, appreciate the advice - thanks. Do you personally have experience with this vc? The comments on Newegg's site are pretty bad especially for the fans. I'm pretty new at this and would be nervous because of what is being said. Your thoughts?
 
Onboard video means that the motherboard has a graphics chip and dedicated/shared memory for graphics (read: you can plug your monitor directly into the motherboard on the I/O panel without needing to buy a seperate graphics card)
 
If all I'm using this for is connecting to monitor or big screen TV and running training software for a bicycle trainer, would the onboard be better (or maybe simpler)? I don't want to sacrifice quality and money is not necessary an issue (within reason).

CPU/MB
Move up a notch on the cpu/not that you need it-it's part of the deal /combo w/ the Asus MB that has not only the newer 880NB and 850SB, but many other nice features the 785 doesn't. And all for only about $12. more.

As for the obv for either board, there's not really much diff. from about the 790 & up. I think the obv will suit your need. It will run 2 monitors. More here:

However you could get one of the suggestions from jevery for more graphically demanding applications. Which, while your at it, is a good idea.
The obv will be disabled since the card is more powerfull, and either the MB will diable it when it see's the card, or it may need to be manually disabled. Installing a card and the manual disable are easy. And if your card ever goes out, you will have the obv as back up.
RAM CL7 if budget allows.
If not going to overclock:
