Gaming on a TV (from a PC)

For a while I've switched back and forth between consoles and PC, but I've recently decided to go more or less PC exclusive (given that console games have been lackluster for a while).

My television is roughly 20 feet away from my computer, and has USB, VGA, S-video, and obviously, HDMI ports. I'm using a GTX460 on my computer.

Would it simply be a matter of finding a long enough HDMI cable + the appropriate adapters, or is there a more minimal (or even wireless), way of doing it?

Cheaper would be better, obviously. :3

mini-HDMI adapter for the GTX460 (assuming its same connectors as 470) and get a long HDMI.

Put your PC near the tv and use wireless mouse and keyboard? Iantheone

you actually offer a good question there is a wireless way galaxy has a gtx 460 and 560ti that both offer wireless connectivity to an adapter that simply goes in an HDMI slot. however its range is well within what an hdmi cable can do so going that way isnt all that efficient. cable is and will always be (while your alive) better than wireless.

this being said you could use a wireless keyboard, mouse and xbox controller if you so choose.
