video card advice

I am building my first computer, but I have not gotten to the purchase stage yet. Right now I'm researching to see what's the best for me at this point. I need some advice. I'm trying to build a computer that has the speed and power to capture, edit and rendor digital video and audio. I also want my computer to have 2 computer screens and a tv monitor. So, what kind of video card and sound card is more profitable?

As far as the sound card is concerned I was looking at the SoundBlaster Audigy 2 platinum. Is there anything better?

For video I was looking at the Geforce4 Ti4600 128mb tv/dvi. Is there anything better?

Get an ATI All-in-Wonder card; they're perfect for what you want to do.

The Audigy 2 is an excellent card. You can't go wrong with it.
